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, Odeile, and Vamira set to work to put the old Crownseeker to rest. Oliver and Odeile crafted a basic litter, which they used to carry Crane’s body to a patch of softer earth, away from the gully filled with corpses.  


They made the trip in somber silence, each holding an end of the litter. Oliver’s numb and weary mind kept coming back to one thought. ‘He’s so light.’ 


Vamira, who had retrieved a shovel from somewhere in the wreckage near the wagons, had dug most of the grave before they arrived. 


Oliver watched her in amazement. She worked with tireless efficiency, heedless of the long dress she wore, now stained with mud and dirt from her efforts. He lowered himself into the grave to help. She gave him the smallest dip of her chin, which he returned awkwardly. Then, together, they continued to dig.
