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

Oliver stumbled back into his own room several minutes later. He was soaked to the bone, his skin ice cold. But he barely felt it; shock clung to him like a numb second skin, suffocating all sensation beneath it. 


Slowly, he sank down on his bed. His body ached for sleep, but he made no move to slip beneath the covers, or to strip off his sodden clothes. Oliver stared at a spot on the floor a few feet away without really seeing it at all. 


An icy wind swept into the hollow, coalesced into mist, and then became solid. Zarine stood in front of him, in human form, her head cocked as she studied him.  


“What?” Oliver asked aloud, refusing to resort to internal conversation. 


“I don’t understand what has you all riled up,” Zarine said. 


Oliver snorted and shook his head, looking away from her. “You wouldn’t. You’re a Demon.” 


“Thank you very much for the reminder. I might remind you that even we evil, horrible Demons can use our brains and think things through.”
