THIS IS THE PATH OF THE BEAM, THE WAY OF THE TOWER, AND THE TIME OF YOUR DRAWING. BE TRUE;.STAND; COME TO ME.
Through time and waste and divided dreams, the last of the gunslingers turn their faces to the Turtle and travel the path of the Beam. And come, when Eddie unlocks the key from the branch and Roland gives the promise he may not keep, to the Drawing of Jake, the undead boy who is one of the many who are one ... Bound together in thought and treachery, pursued by the Ageless Stranger, they face the perils of Lud and the Tick-Tock Man to reach the Cradle of Blaine the Mono, who is truth and danger and will ransom their lives for a riddle. And still the Dark tower beckons, where death lies in the heart of the rose ...
