What this book is about
In the kingdom of Delain, young prince Peter is framed for the murder of his father by the court magician Flagg and sentenced to lifetime imprisonment in a tower. Stephen King's fairy-tale fantasy is aimed at a broader audience than his horror work—it reads like a classic bedtime story with dark edges, featuring a scheming villain, loyal friends, and a long-form escape plan.
