Knight of Shadows is a fantasy novel by American writer Roger Zelazny, published in November 1989. It is the ninth book in the Amber saga
Merlin continues to attempt to solve the mysteries in his life, in particular to understand why did Julia turn against him and how did she get involved with Jurt, who is raging against him a ruthless vendetta.
After being trapped in a strange world peopled with ghosts induced by the Pattern, Merlin discovers that he is involved in a superpower quarrel between Amber's Pattern and the Logrus of Chaos.
