They call Buddha Maitreya, which means the King of Light, and some people continue to call him the Great God Wuliang Sam, saying that he is a god, but he still prefers to remove "Wu Liang" and "Great God" and call himself Sam. He never claimed to be God, but he certainly never denied it. The situation is such that neither admission nor denial will help. Death and light are always present. They begin, end, accompany, and conflict with each other. They enter the nameless dreamland, attach themselves to the dreamland, and burn words in reincarnation, perhaps just to create a little bit of beauty. And this namelessness is our world. "The Light King" is Zelazny's most famous science fiction epic. It caused a sensation when it came out. It won the Hugo Award for Best Novel and was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel.

Corwin escaped from his prison and traveled through the shadow world, following the Black Road to Avalon, looking for weapons to counterattack. Along the way, a dark road accompanies him through different shadow worlds, like an ominous omen.

But he discovered that Amber was under siege, and the attackers were also able to travel through the shadow world because there was a dark road leading them.
