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 staggered blindly toward the canvas barrier of the tent, his mind a ringing blank. His foot struck something in the darkness and he stumbled heavily forward, falling into the side of the tent. The material wrapped around him like a huge, suffocating serpent. 


Oliver struggled wildly, which only served to entangle himself worse. The coarse canvas felt like rough hands, shoving him from all sides. It felt like the Adjudicator’s hands – but no, he was lying dead a few inches away, filling the air with the stench of blood. 


‘And I... And I... Oh Goddess, help me!’ 


Panic squeezed Oliver’s throat, and he made one last desperate struggle against the cold, groping hands of the tent folds. His head broke through, back into the night, followed by the rest of him as he tumbled heavily to the ground. Oliver remained where he was, half curled into a ball, shaking uncontrollably.
