The passage through the castle is dim, sensed by few and walked by only one. Flagg knows the way well.

Roland's time is nearly over, though, and young Prince Peter, tall and handsome, the meausre of a king in all ways, stands to inherit the realm. Yet a tiny mouse is enough to being him down, a mouse that chances upon a grain of Dragon Sand behind Peter's shelves and dies crying tears of fire and belching gray smoke. A mouse that dies as King Roland does. Flagg saw it all and smiled, for now Prince Thomas, a young boy easily swayed to Flagg's own purposes, would rule the kingdom. But Thomas has a secret that has turned his days into nightmares and his nights into prayer-for oblivion.
