The NLS annotation reads:
On planet Majipoor, Valentine, a young man ignorant of his destiny, joins a troupe of traveling jugglers. Later, with his purpose clear, he undertakes an epic journey to reclaim the throne as his world's rightful ruler.
This is Bookshare’s Long Synopsis:
He is a man with no past--a wanderer without memory of his origins. He calls himself Valentine. As a member of a motley group of entertainers, he travels across the magical planet of Majipoor, always hoping he will meet someone who can give him back what he has lost. And then, he begins to dream--and to receive messages in those dreams. Messages that tell him that he is far more than a common vagabond--he is a lord, a king turned out of his castle. Now his travels have a purpose—to return to his home, discover what enemy took his memory, and claim the destiny that awaits him...
Come join us next month to talk about this epic story set on a large, fascinating world, and whatever else you’ve been reading lately, or would like to read.
Evan
