dark tower
Ominous black stronghold
A dark tower is a forbidding or mysterious structure, often appearing in fantasy literature as a place of evil power or ultimate confrontation.
The image draws on medieval associations of towers with imprisonment and isolation.
Stephen King's multivolume *The Dark Tower* series has made the phrase particularly resonant in contemporary fiction, where it represents an obsessive quest's destination.
The hero journeyed toward the dark tower.
