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

The three young men were taken past the Crownseeker barricade, down the street. Oliver stumbled along behind the Adjudicator holding him, forced to skip sideways to keep up with the man’s long strides. The Adjudicator’s robes slithered back and forth along his legs, the only sound in the empty street. 


“Oliver,” Kelley’s voice came from behind. Oliver twisted to see him. Kelley was marching alongside the taller Adjudicator, his face a blank mask. “I’m sorry, Oliver,” he said.  


He turned to Aldric, who was being dragged along on the Adjudicator’s other side, staring at the ground. “I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I’m...” 


“Quiet,” the taller Adjudicator rumbled. 


Kelley closed his mouth with a snap. The group continued on in silence. 


Oliver barely noticed where the Adjudicators were taking them. Fear was battering down on him from all sides, mixing with fury at himself. What had he been thinking?
