Book Title: The Will of the Many
Author: James Islington
Enter the gripping world of The Will of the Many, the first book in a thrilling new fantasy series by James Islington, the internationally bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy.
The Catenan Republic’s elite Catenan Academy promises prestige and power—but at a cost. Students like Vis Telimus must surrender their Will, their strength and focus, to the ruling Hierarchy. But Vis is no ordinary student. Behind the mask of loyalty lies a fugitive on a secret mission: to solve a murder, uncover ancient weapons, and dismantle the empire that destroyed his family.
To survive, Vis must rise through the Academy’s ranks, navigate dangerous alliances, and keep his true identity hidden. In a world of leeching power and ruthless control, Vis must outsmart the Republic before it consumes him.
Packed with intrigue, rebellion, and James Islington’s trademark worldbuilding, The Will of the Many is perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, John Gwynne, and Pierce Brown.
Read if you like: Red Rising, Mistborn, or The Name of the Wind.

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 civilised 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.
