The Dawn of Amber trilogy will expand the Amber universe and
answer questions, such as how Amber was created, by whom, and why. The events
in the trilogy will precede those in existing novels, but follow some of the
same, immortal characters. Finally, fans of the series will discover why it
was necessary to create Amber, how Chaos and Amber came to be at war, and the
nature of the universal, sentient forces that Amber and Chaos represent.
