Roland is the last noble knight in a world that has “shifted out of place.” At all costs, he must find the Dark Tower—the very center of Power, the cornerstone of the universe. Someday he will locate that tower; but for now he has a long and dangerous journey through a world ruled by black magic—a world from which, at times, doors open to our reality… “The Wizard and the Crystal” recalls a fantastic Western. King describes the first relationship of the Gunslinger with the beautiful Susan. This is a wonderful and tragic story of love and the coming-of-age of a young warrior.
