When old King Roland of Delain dies of poison, the magician Flagg sees that the blame falls on young Prince Peter, who is locked away at the top of the Needle while his brother Thomas takes the throne and Flagg rules through him. King wrote the story for his daughter Naomi, who had little interest in his horror novels, and it stands apart from his other work as a tale for readers of all ages. Flagg, the dark magician of Delain, also walks through The Stand
