At the heart of the series is Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger, on an epic quest to reach the mysterious Dark Tower. As he traverses a myriad of landscapes, both familiar and otherworldly, he pursues the Man in Black, befriends a boy from New York named Jake and, through mysterious doors that open onto different times in our world, draws companions including Eddie Dean and Odetta Holmes. Along the road he recounts his tragic past in the seaside town of Hambry, and he and Eddie even come face to face with their maker, a man called Stephen King.

Themes

• Redemption: Characters grapple with their pasts, seeking forgiveness and a chance for a better future.
• Fate and Free Will: The struggle between destiny and choice is a pervasive theme throughout the series.
