As Roland and Jake journey across the desolate Mid-World, Jake’s psychic “shine” proves vital to stopping the King’s plan. But when Jake is captured to be used as a battery for the Crimson King’s final assault, Roland faces an impossible choice: pursue his revenge or save the boy who reminds him of his lost humanity.
