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 dove to the ground at the last moment. A blast of wind ruffled his hair as the heavy body of the creature passed over him, teeth snapping beside his ears. It struck a nearby tree with a muffled, leathery thump, before skittering quickly around to face Oliver again. 


He was given his first clear look at the beast. It looked like an elongated bat, but enormous, more than eight feet long from its piping snout to its stubby tail. A long mane of waving, jet-black hair trailed from its skull to the base of its back. Its face was like that of a jackal, grinning, with a black tongue lolling out from between its fangs. 


Pale and milky eyes swiveled in its head to fix on Oliver, and it let out another piercing squeal, a noise like glass scraping across ice. Then, with an earsplitting crack of wood, it launched itself off the tree and at Oliver again.
