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

Oliver stood in place, motionless, as though his feet had sprouted roots. A sea of bodies swirled around him, horses screaming and slamming into one another in their clamor to move with the tide. It all seemed like it was taking place in some other world, far too chaotic and frightening to be Oliver’s. 


“Look out!” Aldric pulled Oliver aside just in time. A Crownseeker galloped by, right where he had been standing, his horse tearing up the grass beneath it in its haste. The recruits all huddled together, shying away from the wild charge taking place around them. Oliver felt like he was standing on a tiny island in the middle of a hurricane. 


He looked up and saw Crane shouting at another Crownseeker. “What’s Tullind thinking?” he roared at the other man. “This is bloody chaos! Where are the standards? Goddess, what about waiting for word from the scouts?” 


The other Crownseeker shook his head and shouted something back that did not carry over the screams of horses and men.
