NINE PRINCES IN AMBER is the first in the classic CHRONICLES OF AMBER, a series that exemplifies the Zelazny style, in which the first-person narrator, a tough-talking, ruthless (but essentially good-hearted) man must confront a menace from his mysterious past. A man with unearthly physical strength awakens as an amnesiac after an automobile accident. Gradually, he remembers that he is Prince Corwin, one of the many magical, long-lived members of the royal family of Amber.

The Wicked Girls
One fateful summer morning in 1986, two eleven-year-old girls meet for the first time and by the end of the day are charged with murder. Twenty-five years later, journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of sickening attacks on young female tourists in a sea-side town, when her investigation leads her to interview funfair cleaner Amber Gordon. For Kirsty and Amber, it’s the first time they’ve seen each other since that dark day when they were just children. But with new lives – and families – to protect, will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden?
The Chronicles of Amber is a popular fantasy series by Roger Zelazny. The main series consists of two story arcs, each five novels in length. In the Amber stories, Amber is the only true world; all others, including our Earth, are but "shadows" of the tension between it and Chaos. A second world, the Courts of Chaos, is situated in Shadow at the very edge of Chaos itself.
Amber Magic, Sky Magic, and Shadow Magic: Haven Series, Books 1, 2, and 3
In Amber Magic, the humans have no magic and are hunted for sport, but that is about to change. War is coming. The Sun Dragon spawned nine lesser dragons which devoured their parent for the power the elder possessed. These young dragons fought for choice bits of the Sun Dragon, but each only managed to eat a portion, thus giving them specific powers.
