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

Wind sighed across the desolate waste, stirring the dust-choked air. Nothing moved in the haze of darkness. The village, the fires, even the corpses lying in the earth, all had been swallowed up, plunged into impermeable shadow. 


Oliver’s shaking legs gave out beneath him. He fell hard to his knees. 


It did not seem possible that a brutal battle had been taking place only seconds before. Everything was deathly silent, and deathly still. A bluish light began to poke searching fingers through the curtain of dust hanging upon the air. Shadowy shapes took form on the ground, backlit by the sleepy morning light. 


They were corpses. And there were more of them than there had been.


A low, despairing moan escaped from Oliver. Crownseekers and Trebbons lay together in heaps everywhere, their bodies draped over one another, with limbs poking out like skeletal branches. Many times, it was hard to tell one apart from the other. Death stripped their differences away.
