The evil wizard Flagg has watched and waited. King Roland, once powerful, is old and weak. Prince Peter, the measure of a king in all ways, stands to inherit the realm. His younger brother, Thomas, is more to Flagg's liking. A few grains of Dragon Sand will change everything. With- in minutes the king is dead, Prince Peter imprisoned for the murder, and Thomas is King. Flagg is in control of Delain. But through the Eyes of the Dragon, someone has seen all. Someone whose days have turned into night- mares. While in the royal prison, at the top of the Needle, Prince Peter plans a daring escape.

Work Description

The Eyes of the Dragon is a fantasy novel by American writer Stephen King, first published as a limited edition slipcased hardcover by Philtrum Press in 1984, illustrated by Kenneth R. Linkhauser. The novel would later be published for the mass market by Viking in 1987, with illustrations by David Palladini. This trade edition was slightly revised for publication. The 1995 French edition did not reproduce the American illustrations; it included brand new illustrations by Christian Heinrich, and a 2016 new French version also included brand new illustrations, by Nicolas Duffaut.

At the time of publication, it was a deviation from the norm for King, who was best known for his horror fiction. The book is a work of epic fantasy in a quasi-medieval setting, with a clearly established battle between good and evil, and magic playing a lead role. The Eyes of the Dragon was originally titled The Napkins.
