Strength of the Few

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The highly anticipated follow-up to The Will of the Many - one of 2023's most lauded and bestselling fantasy novels.

The Hierarchy still call me Vis Telimus. They still, as one, believe they know who I am.

But with all that has happened-with what I fear is coming-I am not sure it matters anymore.

I am no longer one. I won the Iudicium, and lost everything-and now, impossibly, the ancient device beyond the Labyrinth has replicated me across three separate worlds. A different version of myself in each of Obiteum, Luceum, and Res. Three different bodies, three different lives. I have to hide; fight; play politics. I have to train; trust; lie. I have to kill; heal; prove myself again, and again, and again.

I am loved, and hated, and entirely alone.

Above all, though, I need to find answers before it's too late. To understand the nature of what has happened to me, and why.

I need to find a way to stop the coming Cataclysm, because if all I have learned is true, I may be the only one who can.

PRAISE-

'A compelling story, a cast of complex and diverse characters, and a glimpse into how far a good man can go before he's lost.' Kirkus

'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 on The Will of the Many
