Book of King John

The Book of King John is a document written by King John that provides information about the rising and defeat of the Dragon King.

It is not the only record of the fight with the Dragon King, according to Lord Matthew; other generals wrote about "their wonder that [King John] had won with such outlandish strategies."

In a council described during The Secret Country, Lord Conrad remarks that he thinks the book is a fable rather than history: the magic it describes is more powerful and drastic than the simple illusions seen in the Secret Country in recent years.

To this, Ted replies that "the men who seemed to doubt" the stories King John and the generals provided "were renegade wizards who wished to make all men disbelieve in magic, that in secret their power might be greater."
