About A Torre Negra

Junto com Roland estão dois companheiros que ele levou consigo para esse universo: Eddie Dean, um ex-dependente químico, e Susannah, nova identidade da mulher que combina no mesmo corpo duas personalidades distintas. À sua frente estão as extraordinárias revelações sobre quem ele é e o que motiva sua busca. E contra Roland se perfila uma legião cada vez mais numerosa de inimigos, humanos ou não. À medida que o ritmo da ação, da descoberta e do perigo se acelera, o leitor é irremediavelmente absorvido por um drama espetacular, ao mesmo tempo assustador como um pesadelo... e estranhamente familiar.
