The Eyes of the Dragon (by Stephen King) tells the story of two Princes and an evil magician determined to destroy their kingdom. The story is told in small sections, following each of the characters: Peter, Thomas, and Flagg (main characters). It also follows Peter's friends in the second half of the book.
Flagg the Magician, wanting a rebellion/overthrow of the monarchy, devises a plan to put Peter in jail and make Thomas king of Delain. The story shows the different ways the boys grow up, Peter with his mother and Thomas without. The loss of his mother makes Thomas the less-liked of the two boys, and the more susceptible to Flagg's bullying. Once his brother is put into the Needle (the jail for royalty), Thomas is completely at the magician's mercy.
Favorite Quote: "I think that, soomer or later, things like you always begin to repeat themselves, because things like you know only a very few simple tricks. After a while, somone alsways sees through them. I think that is all that saves us, ever."- Peter
