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 shocked silence hung over the gathering. Not even the wind seemed to want to disturb it. The air was totally still and dead. Yet Oliver felt something behind it, almost as though an invisible pressure was building, trying to break through the momentary calm. 


Like everyone else, he watched Vamira, hoping against hope for a miracle.  


She seemed absurdly small, standing in the shadows of the eight-foot-high Trebbons. But the look on her face would have cowed a king. Slowly, her flashing eyes passed over the crowd, seeming to rest on each Trebbon in turn. 


Her gaze traveled to him, and for the first time in five days, their eyes met. Oliver felt a shiver go through him. A powerful urge sprang up inside him to walk forward and stand at her side. But something held him back. If he went to her, now, it felt as though it would break the power of the moment that had them all spellbound.
