All Roads Lead to Amber episodes

  • Book 3 Ep. 4: Timelines
    Across chapter 7 of Sign of the Unicorn, we begin to unpack the critical timelines surrounding the period when Amber's troubles begin, as Corwin steps back to evaluate what he knows and doesn't know. Why did Brand disappear? What's the relationship to Oberon's disappearance? How far back did the plotting for the throne begin? What's the relationship between the damaging of the Pattern, the Black Road, and Corwin's curse? Zelazny spun a complex plot, and we'll do our best to get our heads around it.
