The cover of the book. Very stylised line drawing: four classical looking pillars, each with a different style of cap, foot, and column - all four are shattering in the middle.

Book 2 is "The Will of the Many" by James Islington, first in the Hierarchy series.

James Islington created Will… and accidentally gave us major Jedi energy....Book club consensus: The Will and The Force would DEF hang out.
