      About This Book

      In a world split between light and darkness, a thief seeks vengeance and power.

      Jack, a magical being from the realm of shadows, is unjustly punished and embarks on a dangerous vendetta. He journeys through strange realms, encountering witches, vampires, and his ultimate enemy, the Lord of Bats. Guided by his friend Morningstar, a dark angel, Jack is pursued by the monstrous Borshin. But to reveal more would spoil the mind-boggling surprises Jack of Shadows has in store.

      First published in 1971 and long out-of-print, this rediscovered classic by Roger Zelazny blends science and magic into a dark, unforgettable adventure. For fans of morally complex heroes, intricate world-building, and fast-paced plots, Jack of Shadows is a must-read.
