<P> Mordred finally reaches and attacks Roland . Oy viciously defends his dinh, providing Roland the extra seconds needed to exterminate the were - spider . Oy is impaled on a tree branch and dies . Roland continues on to his ultimate goal and reaches the Tower, only to find it occupied by the Crimson King . They remain in a stalemate for a few hours, until Roland has Patrick draw a picture of the Crimson King and then erase it, thus wiping him out of existence except for his eyes . Roland gains entry into the Tower while Patrick turns back home . The last scene is that of Roland crying out the names of his loved ones and fallen comrades as he had vowed to do . The door of the Dark Tower closes shut as Patrick watches from a distance . </P> <P> The story then shifts to Susannah coming through the magic door to an alternate 1980s New York, where Gary Hart is president . Susannah throws away Roland's gun (which does not function on this side of the door), rejecting the life of a gunslinger, and starts a new life with alternate versions of Eddie and Jake, who in this world are brothers with the surname Toren . They have only very vague memories of their previous journey with Susannah, whose own memories of Mid-World are already beginning to fade . It is implied that an alternate version of Oy, the billy - bumbler, will also join them . </P> <P> In a final "Coda" section, King urges the reader to close the book at this point, consider the story finished with a happy ending, and not venture inside the Tower with Roland . For those who do not heed the warning, the story resumes with Roland stepping into the Dark Tower . He realizes that the Tower is not really made of stone, but a kind of flesh: it is Gan's physical body . As he climbs the steps, Roland encounters various rooms containing siguls or signs of his past life . When he reaches the top of the Tower, he finds a door marked with his own name and opens it . Roland instantly realizes, to his horror, that he has reached the Tower countless times before . He is forced through the door by the hands of Gan and transported back in time to the Mohaine desert, back to where he was at the beginning of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, with no memories of what has just occurred . The only difference is that, this time, Roland possesses the Horn of Eld, which in the previous incarnation he had left lying on the ground after the Battle of Jericho Hill . Roland hears the voice of Gan, whispering that, if he reaches the Tower again, perhaps this time the result will be different; there may yet be rest . The series ends where it began in the first line of book one: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed ." </P> <P> The novel won the British Fantasy Award in 2005 . </P>
