Hierarchy - 1: The Will of the Many

Meer over het boek

At the elite Catenan Academy, students are groomed to become future leaders of the Hierarchy empire, uncovering a web of mysteries that turn deadly. Vis, the adopted son of influential senator Magnus Quintus Ulcisor, is sent to the academy to uncover its hidden agenda and to investigate the mysterious death of his brother there. Ulcisor suspects that the current Principalis, Quintus Veridius Julii, a political rival, holds crucial information. The Academy's demanding curriculum challenges Vis, but it is the training in the practice of Will that he finds particularly distasteful. Will encompasses energy, focus, and ambition, and can be ceded to others, allowing a single recipient to amass power to superhuman levels. In this hierarchy, one's level of Will determines their fate. As Vis navigates the complexities of the Academy, he faces not only the challenges of his studies but also the machinations of those intent on upending the established order. Amidst rivalries and hidden agendas, he must decide how far he is willing to go to uncover the truth and protect his future in this intricately woven epic fantasy.
