Bøger i Majipoor Cycle serien

Prince Valentine travels the planet Majipoor with a group of eccentric performers. In a quest to discover who Valentine is, his companions help him lay claim to the rewards of birth that await him. But that is only part of his challenge, for he must triumph in the most difficult trial--one that will test his belief, resolve and strength of character.

Hissune, favorite of Lord Valentine, probes the deepest secrets of Majipoor's long past in the depths of the great Labyrinth. To do so, he becomes one with its many peoples--dukes and generals, thieves and murderers, Ghayrogs and Metamorphs--and discovers wonder, terror, longing, and love as he learns the wisdom that will shape his destiny.

The Shapeshifters scheme in secret to regain their stolen world, and confusion and chaos are whispered on the winds of Majipoor. To save Majipoor, Valentine faces an agonizing choice--accept the mantle of Pontifex and surrender his high office to his young successor, or use his own great powers to avert a long nightmare of bloodshed.
