the will of the many (a playlist) - instrumentals & choral music

“There is always something more to lose.”
Books in the Hierarchy Series
↳ The Will of the Many (Book #1)
↳ The Strength of the Few (Book #2) - 2025 Release
About the Book:
Inspired by the Roman Empire, the Will of the Many follows a young fugitive who uncovers sprawling mysteries and world-changing secrets at an elite, dangerous academy. It is a tale of inequality, resistance, friendship, and determination, and offers commentary on the distribution of power, social hierarchies, and the complexities that living within those systems entail.

A Note from Me: I had been seeing this book all over BookTok, and am so glad I finally picked it up. It was so digestible and well-paced, and the action sequences kept me on my toes. The tone of the story is quite dark, but there are really heartwarming moments of friendship and I was as invested in the relationships of the characters as I was in the overarching plot mysteries. The worldbuilding and writing were vivid and engaging, and the cliffhanger at the end is absolutely brutal but so good!!
I haven't included choral pieces in my playlists before, but there were a couple of choral pieces that really fit the vibe of the story, so i decided to include them - hope you enjoy!
