Wolves of the Calla

by Stephen King · 2003

In the seventh installment of Stephen King’s epic Dark Tower saga, Roland Deschain and his eclectic ka‑tet arrive at the isolated settlement of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a community haunted by a terrifying cycle of terror. Every ten years, a pack of mysterious, humanoid wolves—known only as the Wolves—descend on the town, abducting a child and leaving the residents in dread. As the gunslinger and his companions—Eddie, Susannah, Jake, and the enigmatic Oy—delve into the town’s secrets, they discover that the Wolves are more than mere beasts; they are agents of a larger, otherworldly conflict that threatens the very fabric of reality. Torn between protecting the innocent and confronting the dark forces that pursue the Dark Tower, Roland must decide how far he will go to break the cycle and keep the tower’s fragile hope alive.
