Book description
A captivating tale of heroic adventure, of dragons and princes, of mysterious mice and magical men, as only Stephen King can tell.
The King is dead, murdered by a strange and horrible poison. But while the land of Delain mourns, the magician, Flagg, unscrupulous, greedy and powerful, plots. Soon, the king’s oldest son, Peter, is imprisoned at the top of a high tower for his father’s murder and his younger brother, Thomas, inherits the throne.
Only Peter knows the truth of his innocence, and the truth of the evil that is Flagg. And only Peter can save Delain from the horror Flagg has in store. He has a plan, but it is dangerous and desperate and if he fails there will be no second chance. And Flagg’s words still echo in his mind: “I’ll carry your head on my saddle-horn for a thousand years. Here I come, Peter! Coming for your head!”
