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 was so thrown by her behavior that he nearly missed the name. “The Mirrorwood? Is that where we are?” he asked, desperate for more information. 


“Oh, yes. But I can’t help but wonder... Ollie. How did you get in here?” 


There was something about Zarine’s tone of voice that made Oliver hesitate. But he could not think of any good reason not to tell. “I came from Willow Town. It’s to the east... I think. I ran all over through this forest before I ran into you, so who knows how...” 


Suddenly, Zarine snorted with laughter, cutting Oliver off. “Oh, from the east, was it? That makes sense, yes, perfectly!” She choked and clapped a hand over her mouth, shaking her head and giggling as though he had made some uproariously funny joke. Her laugh was as bizarre as everything else about her, a rough, choking sort of noise.


Oliver pursed his lips, bothered by Zarine’s constant changes in mood. His nerves were already frayed to the breaking point without her help.
