In a world half of light, half of darkness, where science and magic
strive for dominance, there dwells a magical being who is friendly with
neither side. Jack, of the realm of shadows, is a thief who is unjustly
punished. So he embarks on a vendetta. He wanders through strange
realms, encountering witches, vampires, and, finally, his worst enemy:
the Lord of Bats. He consults his friend Morningstar, a great dark
angel. He is pursued by a monstrous creature called the Borshin. But to
reveal any more would be to spoil some of the mindboggling surprises
Jack of Shadows has in store. First published in 1971 and long
out-of-print, Jack of Shadows is one of fantasy master Roger Zelazny's
most profound and mysterious books.
