Summary
After his confrontation with the man in black at the end of
The Gunslinger, Roland awakes to find three doors on the beach
of Mid-World's Western Sea—each leading to New York City
but at three different moments in time. Through these doors,
Roland must "draw" three figures crucial to his quest for the
Dark Tower. In 1987, he finds Eddie Dean, The Prisoner, a
heroin addict. In 1964, he meets Odetta Holmes, the Lady of
Shadows, a young African-American heiress who lost her lower
legs in a subway accident and gained a second personality that
rages within her. And in 1977, he encounters Jack mort, Death,
a pusher responsible for cruelties beyond imagining. Has Roland
found new companions to form the ka-tet of his quest? Or has he
unleashed something else entirely?
