Meanwhile, in the New York of 1977, the Sombra Corporation plots to destroy the lot at Second Avenue and Forty-Sixth Street. He used it to enter Mid-World, and now it sleeps fitfully beneath the floorboards of his church. The Calla folken need the kind of help that only gunslingers can give, and if the tet agrees to help, the town's priest-Father Callahan, once of 'Salem's Lot, Maine-promises to give them Black Thirteen, the most potent and treacherous of Maerlyn's magic balls. In less than a month, the Calla will be attacked by the Wolves-those masked riders that gallop out of Thunderclap once a generation to steal the town's children. Here, in the borderlands that lie between Mid-World and End-World, Roland and his friends are approached by a frightened band of representatives from the nearby town of Calla Bryn Sturgis. Signed by Artist.After escaping the perilous wreckage of Blaine the insane Mono and eluding the evil clutches of the vindictive sorcerer Randall Flagg, Roland and his ka-tet find themselves back on the southeasterly path of the Beam.
To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to. The wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. 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. Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis. Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World on their quest for the Dark Tower. Tracing a 20-year sacrifice cycle in the town, they uncover a connection to the Dark Tower that is less than savory. 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.
