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 stood in the middle of the clearing, as motionless as the trees that surrounded him. Flitterflies buzzed around his head, throwing him into pools of light and darkness in turn. Above, the wind poured in through the breaks in the trees, rattling the branches and making the leaves shiver in the moonlight.  


At length, he glanced behind him. The foremost of the close-ranked trees were clearly visible in the insects’ light, but beyond them, all was black. He looked back around, trying to peer into the trees where seconds ago Vamira and Odeile had gone. There, too, he could see nothing. 


Darkness before him and darkness behind. Meanwhile, the night grew colder. 


Oliver huddled down, his shoulders trembling. He was stuck, paralyzed with indecision. Vamira had all but given him her blessing to go back and throw himself upon the mercy of the Crownseekers. She fully expected him to tell whatever lie he needed to in order to save his own skin.
