Roger Zelazny wrote an explicit sex scene (by nineteen-seventies standards) between Corwin and Dara and was amused when the book's editor asked him to remove it so that sales to libraries wouldn't be jeopardized. That deleted scene has never appeared with the novel but has been printed for the first time in The Collected Stories of Roger Zelazny, Volume 3: This Mortal Mountain.
