From the back cover
"Across the mysterious Black Road, demons swarm into Shadow. The ancient, secret source of the royal family's power is revealed, & an unholy pact between a prince of the realm & the forces of Chaos threaten all the known worlds with absolute obliteration. The hour of battle is at hand. Now Corwin and the remaining princes of Amber must call upon all their superhuman powers to defeat their brother-turned-traitor before he can walk the magical Pattern that created Amber and remake the universe in his own image."
Review
Having
glimpsed the Courts of Chaos, Corwin continues sorting through the
tangled motives and actions of his royal treacherous siblings and discovering how to defeat
the Black Road, a dangerous path of Chaos.
Like its prequels, Oberon has
little lag time between it and its prequel, Sign of the Unicorn, features a lot of dialogue, as well as barebones,
fast-moving action and occurrences. In short: it keeps with the plot-propellant
tone of previous Chronicle novelettes, with enough character-based twists to
further make this an above-average fantasy read. Followed by The Courts of Chaos.
