The Drawing Of The Three
Stephen KingAfter 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?
