In case you missed it, the Turkish edition of KNIGHT OF SHADOWS is out now! Published by İthaki Yayınları, it’s the ninth novel in Roger Zelazny‘s classic, beloved Chronicles of Amber series (Amber Yıllıkları in Turkish). GÖLGELERİN ŞÖVALYESİ was translated by Niran Elçi. Here’s the synopsis…
“TÜM YOLLAR AMBER’E ÇIKAR…”
Merlin sonunda en güçlü düşmanı Maske’yle yüzleşir ve onun kimliğini öğrendiğinde şoke olur. Ortaya çıkan bu gerçek bile, Düzen ve Kaos güçleri karşısında arka planda kalmak zorundadır. Zira bu güçler, karışık soydan gelen bir ölümsüz olan Merlin’in hangi tarafta yer alacağını seçme zamanının geldiğine karar verecektir. Logrus ve Amber Deseni arasındaki bu güç mücadelesi, tüm Gölge’yi parçalarına ayırmakla tehdit etmektedir.
Amber Yıllıkları’nın dokuzuncu kitabı Gölgelerin Şövalyesi’nde, Melvin Corey babası Corwin’i aramayı sürdürürken, kimi zaman ölüm saçan büyücü ailesi ve onların alternatif dünyalarının hikâyesinde, ittifak yapmak için Amber Deseni ya da Kaos Logrusu arasında bir seçim yapmak zorundadır.
The first eight novels in the Chronicles of Amber are, of course, also available from İthaki Yayınları.
KNIGHT OF SHADOWS is available in the UK as part of the SECOND CHRONICLES OF AMBER omnibus, published by Gollancz as part of their SF Masterworks series — all ten novels in the series are available, split into two omnibus editions. Here’s the English-language synopsis for the omnibus…
Merlin is a Prince of Chaos and Amber, Corwin’s son and heir. He has grown up knowing that his legacy is to one day follow in his father’s footsteps, live up to his father’s legend.
When Corwin goes missing, that day comes far sooner than he could ever have expected. Merlin must find his own identity as the ruler of the worlds, and discover what kind of King he wants to be. Will he be a warrior like his father, or embrace his own path as a hacker-magician?
A generation after Corwin’s rise to the throne, Merlin is aided by powers beyond anything Corwin could have imagined. The epic magic from The Chronicles of Amber is wielded alongside sentient computers, a vorpal sword, and the ghosts of those who came before.
Featuring the Locus award-winning Trumps of Doom, the Locus nominated Blood of Amber and Sign of Chaos, and the final two novels Knight of Shadows and Prince of Chaos, the Second Chronicles of Amber continues the epic story of Amber and the Shadow worlds.
