Flagg poisons Roland with a deadly sand that causes its victims to burn from the inside out. When Peter is seventeen, Flagg hatches a plan to rid himself of both Roland and Peter. One of the secret places Flagg shows Thomas is a room with peep holes through which Thomas can watch his father in his sitting room through the eyes of the dragon he killed years before. Thomas' closest friend becomes Flagg, who often shows up when Thomas is at his lowest to attempt to cheer him up by showing him many of the secret passageways hidden inside the castle. Thomas finds himself often pushed aside, unnoticed. Thomas is an expert with the bow and arrow, like his father, but this small accomplishment does nothing to diminish the light that shines every time his brother walks into a room. Thomas is more like his father, short, chubby with a bowlegged walk, and slow when it comes to learning. Peter is the spitting image of his mother, tall, graceful, and highly intelligent. The kingdom falls into mourning at this tragic death, a death that would prove to be even more tragic if anyone learned that Flagg, unhappy with Sasha's influence over her husband, had paid the midwife to inflict a mortal wound to Sasha during the delivery. However, Sasha, Roland's wife, dies in childbirth. A few years later, with the help of a potion from Flagg, Roland and his wife conceive their second child. Roland, who is a great hunter, kills a dragon one afternoon and afterward conceives with his wife the child that will become his heir, Peter. When Roland marries late in life, this trust becomes even more strained because Roland's wife becomes his most trusted adviser. However, Roland's mother never trusted Flagg, and Roland has not trusted Flagg completely. Flagg has been a part of the kingdom since before Roland became king and Roland's mother ruled. Roland surrounds himself with great advisers, including his magician, a man named Flagg. Roland is a good king even though he is not the smartest man around.
The Eyes of the Dragon is a tale of deceit and honor that will surprise and please even the most dedicated King fan. However, Flagg has underestimated Peter's determination to clear his name and save his kingdom. After Peter is put in jail, Flagg runs the kingdom behind the new, weak king, Thomas. Flagg kills the King and frames his heir, Peter, with the murder. The novel follows the story of Flagg, the King's magician, and his plan to bring ruin to the kingdom of Delain. The Eyes of the Dragon is a tale of chivalry and heroes that could easily fit with the tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
