The novel is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different “drawing” that Roland must undertake in order to bring new members to his quest. In the first drawing, Roland is transported to our world and meets a heroin addict named Eddie Dean, who becomes his new companion.

In the third drawing, Roland rescues a young boy named Jake Chambers from a terrifying monster, and Jake becomes the final member of Roland’s group.

As Roland and his new companions journey towards the Dark Tower, they face numerous challenges and obstacles, including battles with strange creatures, confrontations with dangerous gangsters, and inner struggles with their own personal demons. Along the way, they begin to learn more about the nature of the Dark Tower and the forces that are aligned against them.
