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.

Unexpectedly, frustration shot through Oliver. “Enough, Zarine!” he said loudly. “Either tell me what’s going on or don’t, but stop these pointless threats!” 


Zarine drew back a little, seeming baffled. “Pointless? I nearly tore your head off a minute ago! If you doubt how serious I am, come out here and I’ll demonstrate!” 


“Well, then, I’ll have to just wait in my lovely little cave until you calm down, then, won’t I?” 


Zarine stared at him, obviously having no idea what to make of Oliver’s sudden bravado. Truthfully, Oliver was just as surprised at himself as she was. He was hardly feeling brave at the moment, only sick and shaky.
