'Phenomenal! One of the best high fantasy novels I've read in years-think Red Rising meets The Name of the Wind. I couldn't put it down.' - LYNETTE NONI

 

This new edition of book one in the Hierarchy series features never-before-seen bonus materials, including a full-colour map by the author, a note to the reader and new cover art.

 

AUDI. VICE. TACE.

 

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

 

 

I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned three years ago, and that only good fortune has got me into their most prestigious school. I tell them that, when I graduate, I will allow my strength and drive-what they call Will-to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as everyone must do.

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

To survive, though, I will have to rise through the Academy's ranks, and win. Because if I cannot, those 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.

 

PRAISE FOR THE WILL OF THE MANY-

 

 

'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.' - KIRKUS (starred review)

 

 

'Islington subverts the magic school trope and Roman-inspired world building to make this fantasy-dystopian setting distinctly his own... He hits the nail right on the head...The pages truly whiz by.' AUREALIS

 

 

'The most high-octane, twisting and turning magical conspiracy I have ever read. I stayed up all night to finish it and had to pick my jaw up off the ground once I was done...The magic system and world building felt up there with some of the best in the genre.' READINGS

 

 

'Islington cleverly intersperses the world and character building with bursts of action and intrigue which kept me gripped from beginning to end...A fabulously addictive read which I would recommend for lovers of epic fantasy.' GOOD READING (4.5 stars)

 

'The Will of the Many is my favourite book of 2023. One of the best fantasy books I have read...If you haven't read fantasy before this is the one to start with.' JEREMY, PAGE & BLACMORE BOOKSELLERS

More intimate
Format: Imitation Leather
If that word "intimate" scares you, or if you get a worldly image in your mind then you are missing out on what God intended. He gave us Jesus so that we could walk in divine intimacy with Him. After all, we are one with Him. If you are after a closer relationship with Him through Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, then this translation will help you get there. Forget the naysayers unless you are just after religion. But if relationship is what you want, then this translation is one of the best out there. Take for example, Psalm 139:5 "You've gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past." WOW! Thank you Lord! What a GREAT God I have and that I get to be friends with. He IS my friend, but also my Lord and Savior. Look at Colossians 1:19,20 "For God is satisfied to have all His fullness dwelling in Christ. And by the blood of his cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to himself--back to its original intent, restored to innocence again! " Amazing what He did for us! Back to His original intent! And one more, Romans 5:1 "Our faith in Jesus transfers God's righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One , has done for us. " That makes me want to give glory to Jesus! What a great translation! I love how the author realizes and states "There is no such thing as a truly literal translation of the Bible, for there is not an equivalent language that perfectly conveys the meaning of the biblical text. It must be understood in its original cultural and linguistic settings. This problem is best addressed when we seek to transfer meaning, not merely words, from the original text to the receptor language." Go for it! It will only bring you closer to the One who LOVES you the most. Allow Him to lavish you with love, and then you'll be able to lavish others, undeserving like yourself, with love.

The Word of God - Beautifully Done
Overall: I have been reading the Bible since I could read and this has enriched my understanding. I read this along with ESV daily frequently comparing with NKJV, NIV, NLT, NASB, and WEB. IT IS NOT misleading. Please do your own comparison before following the reviews of others. This has brought LIFE to me in so many ways. It fully agrees with, substantiates, and fortifies the Good News spoken by Jesus. Quality: I've used this mid-size brown "leather" copy every day for a year (as of 02-2021), and it's holding up well! See my photos for wear. I toss it in my tote with other bibles and journals, and while it's getting pretty dirty, it's not falling apart. Size/font: I personally love this size. I have it pictured with an A5 journal for comparison. For someone with good eyesight the font is great. The verse numbers and footnotes are very small. Some of my friends prefer the large print version in order to see more easily. Pages: The pages are not as thin as other bibles, but not as thick as some. I show the front and back of a page with heavy highlighting. My highlighters are not traditional, they're the Pilot Frixion erasable. Ballpoint pen definitely shows through, but no bleeding. If you are determined not to like this Bible, then it will be just a book for you. If you are open to reading it side by side with your trusted Bible I KNOW that the Holy Spirit will guide you into new revelation because 1) that's what is promised to us by the Holy Spirit and 2) the Word of God is the Word of God, and is more full of power than any human can mismanage. To tear down the Word of God is dangerous. To allow the Word to transform us through believing it is LIFE!

Good for comparisons
I use this only for a comparison with my other Bibles. It is easily to understand making it great for everyday use. Especially if your have trouble to understand the other versions.

Such an ENJOYMENT to read!
Format: Imitation Leather
I have been so ENJOYING reading this Bible! Being in my early 50s & having read many, many translations with bible concordances, this newer translation has given me a new spark to reading the Word of God & my time with Him. The Bible itself is so beautiful. I'm very appreciative of the large print. I put off purchasing this Bible due to the cost- as if you can put a cost on God, pfft- but I'm SO GLAD I came to my senses & did. I can't wait for the rest of the Bible to be written in this translation so I can read the whole thing in the Passion translation. It's so beautiful!
