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 felt like he had been doused in icy water. Vamira, the Tyrant? It was impossible. He would have known. Vamira told him herself that the Tyrant was dead. 


Unless she had lied. Unless she and Odeile had been tricking Oliver from the start. Denial gave way to doubt, and then doubt to terror. Had they tricked Brother Crane, too? Posing as innocent washerwomen with no connection to the Tyrant at all – it made sense. It was a good plan.  


‘And it worked,’ Oliver thought, horrified. ‘I’ve been helping a Tyrant to escape!’ A ripple seemed to pass through him, starting at his feet and reverberating up to the crown of his head. A Tyrant – a power-mad warmonger, the sworn enemy of the Crownseekers and of every Goddess-fearing soul in all of Calamere – and he had been assisting her. 


Oliver’s head swam. He felt like he wanted to be sick, but his stomach had clenched so tightly that nothing could pass through it. Panic began to pluck on his insides, growing inside him by the second.
