Set in the vast Catenan Empire, the series follows a fugitive hiding secrets while navigating a brutal academy for the elite in a civilization built on stolen strength.

Perfect for epic fantasy readers wanting to start one of the genre's most acclaimed modern sagas from the beginning.

About the Books
The Hierarchy series opens with The Will of the Many, introducing Vis Telimus, a young man hiding a dangerous secret as he infiltrates the prestigious Catenan Academy. In a world where citizens surrender part of their personal will to superiors for protection, Vis must navigate murder investigations, cutthroat rivalries, and imperial machinations while concealing an identity that could get him killed. Aurealis Award-winning and an international bestseller, this opening volume set a new benchmark for political fantasy.

The story continues in The Strength of the Few, the instant #1 New York Times bestselling sequel that raises the stakes considerably. As Vis is drawn deeper into the Hierarchy's inner workings, the fragile alliances he built begin to fracture, forcing him to confront enemies both political and supernatural as the true scope of the Catenan Empire's secrets comes into sharper focus. With an even more ambitious scope than its predecessor, it expands the world-building introduced in book one while pushing every character toward difficult choices.

Together, these two volumes form the essential foundation of the Hierarchy series, delivering the sprawling, richly plotted epic fantasy that rewards patient, attentive readers.
