Having caught the Man in Black, Roland wakes to find himself on the edge of the world needing to travel to the centre at which stands the Dark Tower, the axis on which all worlds turn, in order to save everything. On his way he must draw three companions but this is complicated after he is disabled and poisoned by carnivorous crustations.
