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

The charging trees swarmed over Oliver, knocking him to the ground. A dozen different hands seized him around the legs, arms, and neck. Their skin was rough and jagged like tree bark, digging painfully deep into Oliver as the creatures shoved him against the ground. 


The sudden violence was enough to break him free of his stupor. He began to fight wildly, and managed to free a leg and arm from the forest of stick-thin arms grabbing at him. Oliver punched and kicked at the limbs still holding him, expecting them to break like twigs. 


But, despite their appearance, the trees’ arms were thick and solid, and his blows did nothing other than to scrape the skin off his knuckles. 


After a short scuffle, the creatures managed to seize Oliver’s flailing limbs, then pinned them down with the rest of him. He squirmed and writhed in their grasp, but they had him held so tightly that he could not move an inch.
