Chronicles of Amber. Volume 2

The throne of the mysterious Amber kingdom is the prize for the winner in the harsh game of reflections. Steel and fire, betrayal and treachery of life and the fates of people — all of this is nothing compared to the grandeur of the great purpose. For out of the nine contenders — the Nine Princes of Amber — only one is destined to take the place on the throne.

The second volume of the cult classic "Chronicles of Amber" by Roger Zelazny, the most poetic American fantasist. 
The book contains "The Five Books of Merlin" — the story of the sorcerer-prince Merlin, son of Corwin of Amber, raised in the Courts of Chaos. 
Black magic, intrigues, a multiverse, meetings with the heroes of the "Chronicles of Amber", and the characteristic sarcastic humor of maestro Zelazny!
