The second book in the bestselling series

Over 30 million copies

Just hours after the explosive events in The Last Gunslinger, Roland continues his solitary quest toward the Dark Tower, which now leads him to a seemingly endless beach along the Western Sea—a place filled with otherworldly monsters that mean certain death. But there are other mysteries on this desolate shore: three hidden doors stand freely in the sand: The Prisoner, The Lady of Shadows, and The Enforcer. Each is a gateway to New York City in our world, at different moments in time, and each contains all sorts of dangers that could spell the end of Roland's journey. The world constantly shifts and moves, while the Tower draws ever closer...
