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 stumbled forward through the deepening night after Odeile and Vamira, no longer even bothering to disguise his heavy breathing. Even Vamira was beginning to look weary. Her feet were dragging a little and her shoulders slumped slightly as she walked. But Odeile looked as fresh as though they had just started a minute ago. 


Oliver shook his head in wonder. He was no stranger to long, exhausting journeys. After months spent training in Camp Bracken, he was sure he could keep up with any of the Crownseekers he had ever come across.  


‘But this woman is another matter entirely,’ he thought. 


The Albrinian Way trundled steadily on before Oliver and the others, empty and silent except for the noise of their footsteps. Dark shapes of birds winged by over Oliver’s head, darting between the shadowy trees crouching outside the cones of light cast by the Flitterfly lanterns. Long minutes passed without Oliver seeing any sign of their destination.
