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 and Vamira staggered out the door, pushed onward by the ranks of the fleeing mob. It was like riding on the back of a terrified wave. Oliver kept his feet moving, supported by Vamira, just barely able to keep from being shoved to the ground and trampled.  


Outside, the night air was bitingly cold, freezing the sweat to Oliver’s skin. He shot a look behind, trying to see over the heads of the screaming crowd. “What about Odeile?” he yelled in Vamira’s ear. 


Vamira kept walking. “She’ll be along,” she said shortly. 


Oliver stared at her in disbeleif. He twisted, forcing Vamira to slow down. “We should wait...” he began. 


But before he could finish his sentence, Odeile pushed free of the crowd and loped toward them. Her sleek, gray hair had escaped its severe bun and was blowing freely in the wind. But she looked otherwise unaffected by the brawl that had just taken place inside.
