"How could you have done it, Roland? How could you have killed your own mother? That's what everyone in Gilead's asking-- even your grieving father. But you know the answer: Marten Broadcloak and one of them evil grapefruits. That's how. And while you rot in jail, Broadcloak's plot is wrapping its bloody and black tendrils around Gilead. Your town-- the home of the gunslingers-- is the prize possession of the great enemy of the land, John Farson. And he means to have it. Gilead will fall, it will. And it will fall to the death of a thousand cuts. It started with your mother, yes, but it won't end there"--Jacket
