Book IV in the epic Dark Tower series contains what is chronologically the first book in the long, twisted tale of Roland Deschain, gunslinger of Gilead. In a flashback which becomes the bulk of the book, Roland relives the greatest tragedy of his life. Long before becoming a tough guy, young Roland fell passionately in love. For fans of the series, The Wizard and Glass sheds light on Roland’s damaged psyche. For fans of romantic fantasy the book contains an unforgettable stand-alone love story.
Strange happenings, a vengeful spirit, plenty of suspense, and grief that blossoms into new love make Bag of Bones by Stephen King one of my favorite love stories. Who knew the master of horror was such a romantic?
