The Chronicles of Amber Books in Order, by Roger Zelazny

Written by Roger Zelazny, The Chronicles of Amber is a fantasy series that revolves around the existence of two true worlds—Amber and the Courts of Chaos—and the multiverse of parallel worlds that lie between them.

The story begins with Corwin, who awakens with amnesia in a hospital on Earth. As he regains his memory, he discovers that he is a prince of Amber, one of the true worlds.

The ruling family of Amber can manipulate reality through the Pattern, a magical construct that grants control over the multiverse. The family members can also travel between worlds through shadow-walking.

As the series progresses, Corwin’s story intertwines with that of his siblings, and the plot explores the nature of the multiverse, the Pattern, and the cosmic balance between Amber and the Courts of Chaos.
