![]() After Sasha dies giving birth to their second son Thomas, the demonic magician Flagg, who is apparently 400 or more years old, desires chaos in the kingdom and fears that young Prince Peter, when crowned king, will bring good sense instead and so Flagg wants the inferior, bumbling, manipulable second son Thomas to be king. Roland is renowned for having killed a dragon With his famed arrow Foe-Hammer and eaten its nine-chambered heart, which keeps his heroic aspect alive under his beer fat. Father Roland's not much for sex and manages it only about six times a year, with the aid of an aphrodisiac from court magician Flagg-despite the fact that his Queen Sasha was only 17 when he married her. ![]() Prince Peter, 17, is the elder son of Roland, beer-drinking king of Delain who had managed to stay unwed until 50. Featuring 21 charming illustrations by David Palladini, this is an adventure fantasy for young adults-or very old prepubescents-and among King's most accomplished works (though readers who groan at King's unremitting vulgarity in his adult novels will again have a few quarrels to pick). ![]()
