Free Audio Book : The Will of the Many, By James Islington

Within the walls of the prestigious Catenan Academy, a young escapee delves deep into complex riddles and revelations that could alter the course of the world, brought to life by the renowned author of the Licanius Trilogy, James Islington. Audi. Vide. Tace.

While the Catenan Republic—known as the Hierarchy—dominates the globe, their knowledge isn't all-encompassing.

They recognize me as Vis Telimus. I recount a story of becoming an orphan after a sorrowful mishap three years prior, attributing sheer luck to my admittance into their eminent institution. Once I complete my education, I assure them I'll willingly offer my passion, ambition, and determination—the essence of Will—to fortify those in positions higher than mine, as countless others have. As is the eventual destiny of all.

They trust in my sense of belonging.

Yet, in reality, my mission at the Academy is one of discovery. I'm on a quest to demystify a murder, locate a relic of ancient power, and reveal concealed truths that might destabilize the Republic.

The empire responsible for my family's demise will never command my Will.

However, to endure, I must navigate the intricate social ladder of the Academy. I need to forge bonds, display camaraderie, act as one of them, and triumph. Failure isn't an option, for my true identity's discovery would render me expendable to those who wish to wield me.

And should the Hierarchy discover my genuine identity, my fate is sealed.
