The will of the many
AUDI. VIDE. TACE. Die Catenische Republik - die Hierarchie - mag die Welt regieren, aber sie weiß nicht alles. Ich lasse sie glauben, mein Name sei Vis Telimus. Ich lasse sie glauben, ich sei nach einem tragischen Unfall vor drei Jahren verwaist und nur durch reines Glück an ihrer angesehensten Schule angenommen worden. Ich lasse sie glauben, ich würde nach meinem Abschluss bereitwillig der zivilisierten Gesellschaft beitreten und meinen Willen abgeben, wie es bereits Millionen vor mir getan haben. Ich lasse sie glauben, ich gehöre dazu - und sie glauben mir. Doch die Wahrheit ist, ich wurde auf die Akademie geschickt, um Antworten zu finden. Um einen Mord aufzuklären. Um nach einer uralten Waffe zu suchen. Um Geheimnisse zu enthüllen, welche die Republik auseinanderreißen könnten. Und ich werde meinen Willen niemals an das Imperium abtreten, das meine Familie hingerichtet hat. Um zu überleben, muss ich in den Rängen der Akademie aufsteigen. Ich muss lächeln, Freundschaften schließen, vorgeben, einer von ihnen zu sein - und gewinnen. Denn wenn ich das nicht schaffe, werden diejenigen, die mich kontrollieren wollen und meinen wahren Namen kennen, keine Verwendung mehr für mich haben. Und wenn die Hierarchie herausfindet, wer ich wirklich bin, werden sie mich töten. "Islington hat eine Welt erschaffen, die alle wichtigen Elemente des Genres vereint: komplexe Magie, bedrohliche Gefahren, politische Intrigen und große Charaktere mit undurchsichtigen Motiven. Fans epischer Fantasybücher werden nicht enttäuscht sein." -Publishers Weekly "Erinnert an Robert Jordan oder Brandon Sanderson: Islingtons Schreibstil ist erfrischend rasant, mit einer leichten und cleveren Note." - Booklist " #1 Fantasy des Jahres.
