Susannah Dean has been taken. The demon-mother Mia has seized control of her body and fled through a magical door to New York City, carrying the unborn child known as Mordred. Roland Deschain and Eddie Dean land in a different New York, one slightly out of step with the one they know, and they are already behind. Every minute Susannah is gone, Mia moves closer to delivering the baby that could destroy everything the ka-tet has fought for. Roland and Eddie need a writer named Calvin Tower to sign over the vacant lot that holds the Rose, a single flower that anchors all worlds. Without that lot, the Dark Tower falls. Without the Tower, every version of every world collapses. The gunslinger pushes forward because stopping is not something he knows how to do. But this time the enemy is not in front of him. She is inside someone he loves.
