Anyway the only thing you need to know about Vis Telimus is that his first reaction to seeing the great Catenan Academy was say that it had small dick energy. In a dead language btw.

If I had a penny for every book about a boy of noble birth who watched his whole family be killed in front of him and narrowly avoided death himself, ran away and hid in an orphanage before someone unaware of his true identity recruits him into the regime that murdered his family (said regime presents the idea of everyone being equal while in reality being deeply flawed) and now has to work alongside people who would likely kill him if they knew who he really was, I’d have two pennies, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

#my job here on tumblr is to draw parallels between book series only i have read both of #the will of the many #hierarchy #fireborne #the aurelian cycle #vis telimus #lee sur pallor #of course the difference is that vis/diago’s family was killed by imperialism while lee’s family was killed by the revolution #so vis (in his head at least) gets to be justifiably angry meanwhile lee has turmoil #and their situations are very different but they go through similar angst #which is worse: the most traumatic goddamn day of your life being celebrated annually with a parade #or it being treated like a footnote. a minor victory hardly worth mentioning

The way I'm loving Vis Telimus Catenicus. Saying The Will of the Many is The Name of the Wind meets Red Rising is the perfect description. The sass that boy serves😂💙

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.

THE WILL OF THE MANY by James Islington

RELEASE DATE: May 23, 2023

An orphaned prince on the run gets a chance at freedom if he can become one of his would-be enslavers.

Three years ago, when the Hierarchy killed his family, 17-year-old Vis Solum had to hide in their Republic, bury his rage, and pretend to support the population’s enslavement in order to survive. The Hierarchy is built on Will—a person’s mental and physical energy—ceded by the low to those above them, and then again, all the way to the top of the three pyramids of leadership: Military, Governance, and Religion.

Will powers carts and carriages, keeps vaults locked, and gives Will-users inhuman abilities while sapping ceders of their health and life span. So far, Vis has managed to refuse the ritual to cede his Will. Now, he has little more than a year before he legally has to cede or have his Will drained by Sappers. When Senator Quintus Ulciscor Telimus offers Vis the chance to escape ceding for at least another year, and perhaps never do it at all, Vis agrees. The man officially adopts him so he can attend the Catenan Academy, where all students are tested and prepared for the highest Hierarchy positions. If Vis dominates at the Academy, he can choose a position where he doesn’t need to cede or receive Will at all, far away from the Hierarchy. In return, Vis must act as a spy to prove Religion is unearthing a dangerous weapon. Then, when Vis is blackmailed to act as a double agent, everything changes. In order to succeed, he must become one of those he so hates while keeping his true identity a secret. If he doesn’t, he’ll end up dead, or worse. This Roman-inspired fantasy starts slow but more than makes up for it soon enough. With the inevitable comparisons in mind, fans of Pierce Brown's Red Rising will enjoy this book, but it’s darker, deeper, and takes unexpected paths worth traveling. Trust that the author will get you there in the end.

A multilayered exploration of the complacent as complicit, all within a unique yet relatable magic system.

the will of the many : part one of my simple character doodles !!

before I draw new characters with my main art style, I usually doodle them (really REALLY simply) to familiarize myself with the structure of their faces. I have some complex TWOTM fanarts cooking up, but in the mean time, I'll doodle more characters like these !!

if i do make more twotm art, i might post it on my insta @/almond_alexu because i have decided i must feed my hierarchy series people

@lyssq sorry for the tag lol but i do know you enjoy this book so i thought you might like this, since us starved fans must stick together 🤡🤡

I think it's very funny how basically everyone who matters knows Vis is a lying liar but they're all just dead wrong in guessing the truth

#the will of the many #the hierarchy #hierarchy #vis telimus #callidus thinks he's the bastard son of someone important #aequa thinks he's cheating #indol got the closest and clocked vis was from suus but then fell flat #ulciscor is just like i don't want to know #and eidhin's like eh respectfully it's none of my business

Something something you want more people to talk about a cool book you gotta do it yourself… anyway POLL!

(Yes I did have to look up most of their last names)

Also feel free to share why!
