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

At the very edge of the Rigvire Jungle, all was silent. Boggy moors pockmarked the land, catching pockets of mist inside them that roiled like miniature clouds, tethered to the earth. An errant wind disturbed the scrubby plants, then was gone, as quick as it came. 


Suddenly, two women crashed out of the jungle. Vamira and Odeile came jogging to a halt, both breathing hard. Vamira stooped, hugging a stitch in her side. 


“Some miles ago, I should guess,” Odeile said, wiping a thin sheen of perspiration from her brow. “Still, it was better to make sure.” 


Vamira nodded. The Crownseeker attack had come out of nowhere the night before. Melkem had been the one to rouse her from her slumber, pushing her pack into her hands and telling her to run. Odeile had come rushing in her room, already dressed and ready to leave.
