Books like Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King

After escaping Blaine the insane Mono and evading the sorcerer Randall Flagg, Roland and his ka‑tet travel along the Beam into the borderlands separating Mid‑World and End‑World. There they are approached by frightened residents of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a town that will be attacked in a month by the masked Riders known as the Wolves, who travel from the far‑off land of Thunderclap to seize the town’s children. The town’s priest, Father Callahan, offers the ka‑tet a powerful magic orb called Black Thirteen, the most potent of Maerlyn’s magic balls, which he used to enter Mid‑World and now lies hidden in his church. The group must decide whether to use this dangerous artifact in order to save the town and continue their quest. Meanwhile, in a 1977 New York, the Sombra Corporation threatens to destroy a building on Second Avenue and Forty‑Sixth Street, adding another race against time for Roland and his companions.
