I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus-what they call Will-to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I tell them that I belong, and they believe me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To survive though, I will still have to rise through the Academy's ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them, and \u003ci\u003ewin.\u003c\/i\u003e Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63166199562589,"sku":"9781668066621","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781668066621.jpg?v=1768987139","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/the-will-of-the-many-volume-1","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
