But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play? Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977.

It is a story within a story, which features both the younger and older gunslinger Roland on his quest to find the Dark Tower. Fans of the existing seven books in the series will also delight in discovering what happened to Roland and his ka tet between the time they leave the Emerald City and arrive at the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis. This Russian Doll of a novel, a story within a story, within a story, visits Mid-World's last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. (The novel can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V.) Roland tells a tale from his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following his mother's death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a 'skin man,' Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast's most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind through the Keyhole.' 'A person's never too old for stories,' he says to Bill. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.' And stories like these, they live for us.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-10-06T13:59:24+01:00","created_at":"2020-01-13T18:08:07+00:00","vendor":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","type":"Fiction","tags":["ABWY","Age_Adult","Author_Stephen King","Binding_Paperback","Book of the Day","Boxing Day","Father's Day","Fiction","Genre_Fantasy","Genre_Horror","Genre_Science Fiction","Genre_War \u0026 Western","Halloween","SFF\u0026H Books","Type_Box Set","UK Bestsellers","walmart","Western","wf-top-100-recently-restocked"],"price":3489,"price_min":3489,"price_max":3489,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":9392,"compare_at_price_min":9392,"compare_at_price_max":9392,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":31934998413411,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B2D0133","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The Dark Tower by Stephen King: Complete Series 8 Books Box Set - Fiction - Paperback","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3489,"weight":3500,"compare_at_price":9392,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781529399271","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/thumbnail_795984dc-f239-4d5b-9d85-caa68d10b317.jpg?v=1689674446","\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/front_dbbd181b-3d3e-4ec8-96a5-ce4a1a190677.jpg?v=1689674390","\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/back_335a1a95-4e55-4ae6-9eda-9bd3f0cb21fc.jpg?v=1689674343","\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B2D0133DarkTower8Books-StephenKing-Open.jpg?v=1689669377"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/thumbnail_795984dc-f239-4d5b-9d85-caa68d10b317.jpg?v=1689674446","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"The Dark Tower by Stephen King: Complete Series 8 Books Box Set - Fiction - Paperback Fiction Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","id":25759030116531,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"width":3000,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/thumbnail_795984dc-f239-4d5b-9d85-caa68d10b317.jpg?v=1689674446"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/thumbnail_795984dc-f239-4d5b-9d85-caa68d10b317.jpg?v=1689674446","width":3000},{"alt":"The Dark Tower by Stephen King: Complete Series 8 Books Box Set - Fiction - Paperback Fiction Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","id":25759030050995,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"width":3000,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/front_dbbd181b-3d3e-4ec8-96a5-ce4a1a190677.jpg?v=1689674390"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/front_dbbd181b-3d3e-4ec8-96a5-ce4a1a190677.jpg?v=1689674390","width":3000},{"alt":"The Dark Tower by Stephen King: Complete Series 8 Books Box Set - Fiction - Paperback Fiction Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","id":25759030018227,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"width":3000,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/back_335a1a95-4e55-4ae6-9eda-9bd3f0cb21fc.jpg?v=1689674343"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/back_335a1a95-4e55-4ae6-9eda-9bd3f0cb21fc.jpg?v=1689674343","width":3000},{"alt":"The Dark Tower Complete Series 8 Books Collection Box Set by Stephen King - Adult - Paperback Adult Hodder","id":22542681735347,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"width":3000,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B2D0133DarkTower8Books-StephenKing-Open.jpg?v=1689669377"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":3000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B2D0133DarkTower8Books-StephenKing-Open.jpg?v=1689669377","width":3000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VW0bOTD_Iug?rel=0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; text-align: left;\" id=\"etb-description\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/collections\/stephen-king\"\u003eStephen King\u003c\/a\u003e isn’t just a bestselling author; he’s a literary legend whose name is synonymous with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/collections\/horror\"\u003ehorror\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/collections\/crime-thrillers-mystery-books\"\u003esuspense\u003c\/a\u003e, and masterful storytelling.

It is a story within a story, which features both the younger and older gunslinger Roland on his quest to find the Dark Tower. Fans of the existing seven books in the series will also delight in discovering what happened to Roland and his ka tet between the time they leave the Emerald City and arrive at the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis. This Russian Doll of a novel, a story within a story, within a story, visits Mid-World's last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. (The novel can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V.) Roland tells a tale from his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt-ridden year following his mother's death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a 'skin man,' Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast's most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind through the Keyhole.' 'A person's never too old for stories,' he says to Bill. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.' And stories like these, they live for us.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
