Robin has been living in Mid-World ever since. King enjoyed the book so much that he named it The Dark Tower Concordance and invited her to continue tracking Roland’s many adventures. It was bound in black, had a found key taped to the cover, and contained a magical door at the front labeled THE AUTHOR, so that King could re-enter his vast universe.
