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

Oliver read and reread the note. The words kept slipping out of his brain no matter how many times he saw them, like a sea of fish escaping through a ratty old net. His heart beat faster and faster in his chest with each repetition.  


He set the note down, no longer able to stand looking at it. Outside, the storm had dulled to a steady drizzle. The rain beat a slow, sonorous rhythm on the leaves surrounding the hollow. 


He had been summoned back by the Crownseekers. Oliver could not believe it. ‘Here, of all places!’ How had they learned he was here? 


They must have smuggled the note into his bedroom. Oliver could not imagine how; if any Trebbon caught wind that another human was sneaking around through the Eight Trees, there would have been a village-wide uproar.  


Unable to help himself, Oliver picked up the note again and read it once more. ‘Report?’ he thought blankly. They wanted him to report. But why?
