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 is created by Alexander Harrington, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Crown Seeker

Oliver followed Odeile to a nearby empty table and took a seat beside her.  


He stole a glance at her. She was still watching Vamira dance, her sharp features unusually relaxed. Oliver wondered whether now he might at last get some information out of her. 


But before he could think of how to begin, Odeile broke the silence. "You're hardly the sort of person I expected you to be, Trimble." She did not look at him when she spoke; her eyes were still resting on Vamira.


Oliver blinked. "What did you expect me to be?" he asked.


Odeile glanced at him. Oliver shivered under her hawk-like eyes. They seemed to belong to another person than the one looking at Vamira a moment ago.


"Truthfully?" Odeile said. "I expected an arrogant zealot, swelled with his own self-importance. I expected a person who would have no trouble justifying the most heinous of crimes, so long as it was done in the name of his goddess."
