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 blundered blindly through the forest. He ran as though tumbling downhill, unable to stop. Panic snapped at his heels, pushing him faster. 


But no matter how quickly he went, he could not escape the voice in his head. “You’re going to break your neck if you keep charging along like this, Ollie-boy,” Zarine said reproachfully. “And I don’t think you realize how inconvenient that would be for me. How about a little bit of consideration for your passenger?” 


“Shut up,” Oliver gasped. “Shut up, shut up, shut up!” 


He pushed himself even faster, as though to outrace his own thoughts. Oliver was possessed. ‘Possessed!’ He trembled. Zarine could call it bonding or whatever she liked, but there was no other word for it. 


Oliver stayed to the shadows as much as he could, fearful that someone would see him. 


“Someone see you, here?” Zarine said in disbelief. “Unless you’re worried about the opinions of a chipmunk...” 


“Stop it!” Oliver yelled. “Stop reading my thoughts!”
