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 wind whipped mightily around Oliver as he stood beside Odeile, staring out upon the forest teeming with life below his feet. They said nothing, watching the leaves tumble down in waves from above.  


But Oliver did not mind the quiet. He closed his eyes and listened to the soft sounds of the forest – the hollow howl of the wind, broken by the whispers of fluttering leaves as they skated a path to the earth. The little noises had never sounded so loud to him before, yet so a part of everything that it would have been easy to miss. 


The two of them remained there, side-by-side, for a while. At last, Odeile sighed softly. “What do you plan to do, now, Trimble?” she asked. 


Oliver glanced at her, a pit of worry intruding on his peace. “What do you mean?” 


“I mean that you seem conflicted.” Odeile’s eagle eyes flicked in his direction. “You know what My Lady wishes. She never wanted to part from you at all.” 


Oliver felt his heart do a little skip in his chest. “Didn’t she?”
