About the Book
In The Little Sisters of Eluria, Stephen King transports readers back to an earlier, dangerous chapter in Roland Deschain’s life, before the events of The Gunslinger. Here, Roland encounters the mysterious Little Sisters, a sinister group of nuns who wield dark, twisted powers. Roland’s relentless quest to follow the Man in Black is interrupted when he’s severely injured, leaving him vulnerable and at the mercy of these strange women who nurse him back to health—but at a disturbing cost. As he begins to uncover their true nature, Roland finds himself once again forced to fight for his life, relying on his wits and determination to escape.
This edition also includes the revised version of The Gunslinger, offering both new readers and longtime fans a refreshed and enriched narrative that provides greater insight into the journey ahead for the last Gunslinger. King’s enhancements allow for a deeper understanding of Roland’s character and introduce elements that foreshadow future events in the series. Together, these stories form an engaging prelude to the sprawling, otherworldly quest for the Dark Tower that defines King’s beloved series.
