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. --front flap

Review of 'The Eyes of the Dragon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is clearly written for a young audience, but its still a page-turner like any other King novel. I was reading this alongside Farseer Trilogy, and the similarities and contrasts were too well-matched for me to ignore. Both even share a few character names. However, it was still a wonderful read, and I enjoyed almost every bit of it.

A few descriptions and overly-foreshadowing took it down a few notches for me, though.
