Publisher's Blurb – Jacket Flaps
Journey to Robert Silverberg's Majipoor, a giant world where power rests in the hands and minds of a select few, and dreams hold the ultimate truth.

Wandering aimlessly, Valentine is sure of his name, but little else. His mind lacks memories and purpose, yet he seems strangely untroubled . . . until the dreams come: Disturbing dreams of a churning purple plain, a bitter duel and the destruction of a great mountain castle.

Joining a group of eccentric performers, Valentine embarks on an extraordinary quest to discover who he really is and lay claim to his heritage. Across mysterious lands and wide seas, he faces the rebellious plots of Majipoor's native exiles, the shapeshifting Metamorphs; the attack of a monster sea-dragon; and a difficult trial that tests the strength of his character.

And through it all, he dreams, until, at last, the dreams' meaning comes clear, driving Valentine to a terrifying confrontation . . . and the destiny for which he was born.

But the Metamorphs are not done with their plan to restore their rule, and now, for the first time in 800 years, war looms. Battling plague, riots and a strange new cult that believes the terror is Divine retribution for the subjugation of the Metamorphs, Valentine and his friends must turn the tide of chaos before it destroys their world.

"A grand, picaresque tale . . . by one of the great storytellers of the century."
Roger Zelazny
