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

A little after midmorning on the fifth day since arriving in the Eight Trees, Oliver sat cross-legged on the floor of a little hollow halfway up one of the colossal trees of the village, his eyes squeezed shut. 


“Concentrate,” Zarine urged. “Concentrate!” 


“I am concentrating.” Oliver could not keep the irritation out of his voice. “I’ve been concentrating. For two blasted hours, since we started.” 


“I happen to know for a fact, Ollie-boy,” Zarine said, “that the last fifteen minutes, the only thing you’ve been thinking about is how numb your bum is!” 


"Stay out of my thoughts!” Oliver said loudly, his cheeks coloring. 


“If you were tapping in my power properly, I wouldn’t be able to hear them at all!” 


Oliver sat forward, opened his eyes, and scrubbed his hair furiously with one hand. “Gah! This is stupid!”
