[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Stephen King** (Author), **Bernie Wrightson** (Illustrator)

**_Wolves of the Calla_ is the thrilling fifth book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series--a unique bestselling epic fantasy quest inspired many years ago by _The Lord of the Rings_.**

In the extraordinary fifth novel in Stephen King's remarkable fantasy epic, Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of Mid-World. Their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World's borderlands.

Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla-_folken_ both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough.
