Shadows are parallel worlds of Amber.

"When would you like to essay the Pattern?"
"As soon as possible," I told her.
She considered this, then said, "Where have you been, among Shadows?"
"Very far from here," I said "in a place that I learned to love."
"It is strange that a lord of Amber should possess this capacity."
"What capacity?"
"To love," she replied.
"Perhaps I chose the wrong word."
"I doubt it," she said, "for the ballads of Corwin do touch upon the string of the heart."
"The lady is kind."
"But not wrong," she replied.
"I'll give you a ballad one day."
