Overview

At the elite Catenan Academy, a young fugitive uncovers layered mysteries and world-changing secrets in this "brilliant and gut-churning masterpiece" (Library Journal, starred review) by the internationally bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy, James Islington.

The Catenan Republic--the Hierarchy--may rule the world now, but they do not know everything.

I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus--what they call Will--to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

I tell them that I belong, and they believe me.

But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart.

And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family.

To survive though, I will still have to rise through the Academy's ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them, and win. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me.

And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.

  • A Story With a Will of Its Own

    Would Recommend
    Newton W. - 3 months ago

    The Will of the Many is one of the most engrossing, deeply imagined fantasy worlds I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and it comes pre-packaged not only with a variety of interesting and complicated characters, but also with a definite moral message, something I think really works to its benefit, serving as a guiding light in the muddy darkness of the complex political machinations at work in the Catenan Republic. If you enjoy fantasy, or politics, or well-written characters, or prose fiction of any kind, you will not regret reading this book.
