Robin Furth

"How could you have done it, Roland? How could you have killed your own mother? That's what everyone in Gilead's asking-- even your grieving father. But you know the answer: Marten Broadcloak and one of them evil grapefruits. That's how. And while you rot in jail, Broadcloak's plot is wrapping its bloody and black tendrils around Gilead. Your town-- the home of the gunslingers-- is the prize possession of the great enemy of the land, John Farson....

Near death from an attack by slow mutants, Roland Deschain is taken in by a group of nuns who specialize in anything but the healing arts. These hideous, corpse-like creatures-the Little Sisters of Eluria -have murder on their twisted minds. And in his current condition, there's almost nothing the last Gunslinger can do to prevent their tender mercies from taking hold.

Continuing his search for The Man in Black, Roland enters the town of Tull, a desolate place on the edge of nowhere, filled with enigmatic characters, secrets and a possible trap.

Roland, Alain, and Cuthbert return safely to Gilead, and Roland's obsession with Maerlyn's Grapefruit takes a toll on his health, while his father sets out to find the people who threatened his son's life.

The dark tower saga begins again, this time on Earth in the mean streets of 20th century New York City. Meet Eddie Dean, a haunted and gifted young man with the ability to open doors to other worlds, but now tragedy, addiction and deadly forces are conspiring to stop him from growing up to challenge the Man in Black.

"Marvel's exploration of author Stephen King's dark fantasy world continues, with a brand new chapter in the story of Susannah Dean! The Gunslinger has taken Odetta Holmes to Midworld to join his quest to reach the Dark Tower. But little do Roland and Eddie know that Odetta has a dark side that poses a threat to everything!"--Amazon.
