The Hierarchy
In the Catenan Republic, a rigid Hierarchy divides citizens by rank and demands they surrender their Will—the mysterious force that grants superhuman abilities—to those above them. The story follows Vis, a young orphan who refuses to cede his Will and is adopted by a powerful senator to infiltrate the elite Catenan Academy on the island of Solivagus. There he must navigate the dangerous politics of the Academy while uncovering the truth behind the Hierarchy's power and the ancient ruins that may hold its secrets.
