“He will return to Amber, as he promised himself and fate, when he wrote:“ Eric, I will return, ”and signed:“ Corvinus is the ruler of Amber. ” The Black Bird will find Corwin in the Shadows and show him the way to the Amber Kingdom.
Only the return will turn out to be completely different from what one dreamed of in a dark and damp dungeon, where plans for revenge and the triumphant return of the new King were hatched for many years of imprisonment, whose armies sweep away the resistance of the usurper.
