"The Great Book of Amber" by Roger Zelazny follows the thrilling journey of Corwin, a prince of Amber, as he navigates a complex family feud that spans across multiple parallel worlds known as Shadows.

After waking up in a mental institution with no memory, Corwin gradually regains his identity and discovers that his father, Oberon, is the ruler of Amber, the true world from which all others derive. As Corwin sets out to claim his birthright, he realizes that his siblings, who possess various powers and abilities, are also vying for control of the throne.

In his quest for power and revenge, Corwin faces numerous challenges and battles against his treacherous siblings, including his sister Erica, who manipulates him with her enchanting ability to play the harp. Along the way, he discovers the Pattern, an ancient construct that grants access to infinite Shadow worlds, and must decipher its mysteries to gain an advantage.

He encounters allies and enemies among the inhabitants of the Shadows, forming alliances that could alter the course of his destiny.
