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 was hauled out of Pymous’ command tent by the Adjudicator, back into the cold night air. Goosebumps rose on his skin and he shivered once, convulsively. But he did not feel the cold, really; he felt like he had sunken down under a deep sea, drifting far, far away. 


Oliver barely noticed where the Adjudicator was taking him. He followed numbly, stumbling numerous times, only kept from falling by his captor’s iron grip on his arm. Dimly, he became aware that Zarine and Golmul were talking. But he could not hear them clearly. There was a ringing noise in Oliver’s ears, pure and unending, that had begun back in Pymous’ chambers, which seemed to drown them out.  


He could not bring himself to try very hard to understand. It hardly seemed to matter. He stared sightlessly at the ground, watching the boot-torn earth slide by beneath him as he was marched along, step by step.
