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

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the company of Crownseekers departed from Camp Bracken. Every man was mounted on horseback. They thundered along the road, heading northward, throwing up huge, swirling cyclones of dust in the wake of their passage. 


Oliver rode with the rest of the recruits, near the middle of the formation. His whole body was thrumming with excitement, which grew with every beat of his horse’s hooves against the ground. 


He glanced beside him. Aldric and Kelley were riding only a few feet away, one on either side. They were both bent nearly double over the necks of their horses, their bodies as tight as coiled springs. Behind the both of them, their Crownseeker cloaks snapped in the breeze, flowing and reforming like river foam. 


Kelley, catching Oliver’s eye, grinned at him and pumped his fist in the air. Oliver smiled back, then turned his attention back to the road in front of him. Once again, he found himself struck with wonder.
