The land of Calamere has lost its ruler. Torn apart by war and hatred, the Old Magic begins to fade away, and the Lineage of the Goddess abandons the world to torment and death.

But there is a prophecy. From the land of Calamere, the One Sovereign will arise, conquering the darkness and bringing salvation to all.

It was this ancient promise that led Oliver to join the Crownseekers, an order devoted to finding the One Sovereign. But when he realizes that his idolized order is not at all what he thought it would be, he is faced with the most difficult choice of his life.

Does he do his duty and kill the love of his life before she can become the Tyrant whom all Crownseekers fear? Or does he believe that she is the One Sovereign that all of Calamere has been waiting for? Torn between honor and prophecy, Oliver must sacrifice everything to bring peace to the land.

Crown Seeker

A great clamor of voices broke out all at once, drowning out the speaker. The door was swung shut with an iron bang at the end of the hall and the ruckus faded to a mutinous buzz. Oliver remained where he was, kneeling, his face pressed against the bars of his cell. 


The cold from the metal began to seep into his bones. ‘Tyrant? Did he say Tyrant? It couldn’t have been that man I was talking to. No. It was someone else, it must have been.’ 


Shock and denial swept through Oliver. It could not have happened. He would have known it if he had just spoken with a traitor to Calamere – a man who would certainly go down in history as one of the most evil men of Oliver’s time. 


Hevel had not seemed evil. He had seemed ordinary; perhaps a little sad.
