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.

The silence stretched on. At last, Captain Tullind cocked his head at him, his genial expectancy fading to impatience. “Well?” he demanded. “You know the location of the Tyrant and her servant, do you not, boy? Where are they?” 


Oliver ran his tongue over dry lips. “I...”
