The fifth volume in King's Dark Tower series, Roland and company find themselves involved in some odd goings-on in and around the town of Calla Bryn Sturgis.
Tracing a twenty-year sacrifice cycle in the town, they uncover a connection to the Dark Tower that is less than savory.
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World on their quest for the Dark Tower.
Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis.
But beyond the tranquil farm town, the ground rises to the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is stealing the town's soul.
The wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming.
To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to.
Their guns, however, will not be enough.
