Vis Telimus thought winning the Iudicium would change everything.
It did.
Just not in the way he expected.
The Hierarchy still sees him as Vis Telimus. They still believe they understand who he is. They still think they know his role in shaping the future.
They're wrong.
After the shocking events beyond the Labyrinth, Vis finds himself fractured across multiple worlds. Replicated into three separate versions of himself, he must navigate three different realities simultaneouslyβeach with its own dangers, alliances, and impossible choices.
In Obiteum.
In Luceum.
In Res.
Three lives.
Three destinies.
One looming catastrophe.
As Vis struggles to survive political intrigue, deadly enemies, shifting loyalties, and ancient secrets, he uncovers truths that threaten not only his identity but the very foundations of history itself.
The Cataclysm is coming.
And if everything he has learned is true, Vis may be the only person capable of stopping it.
Epic in scope and relentless in pace, The Strength of the Few delivers unforgettable twists, intricate plotting, and emotional depth while expanding one of fantasy's most compelling modern worlds.
