For sure - this is something where the full explanation kind of got cut in WotM, but will be clarified briefly in SotF - in short, she's both trying to remove him as a future rival in Military, but also gain favour for her father (who is technically also Military but as the Proconsul in Sytrece, depends heavily on Governance to operate). So her family have a foot in both camps - their loyalties are very split, basically.

Hi, James! Just read The Will of the Many this year after my friend recommended it to me and I was lucky enough to get an eARC of The Strength of the Few. I’ve never been more enamored and obsessed with a book series and its characters. Who are your top three characters you’ve written in the Hierarchy series?

James: Like so many here I’ve been obsessed with the world you are created. I wonder if you can respond to this question or is it a ‘stay tuned’ kind of answer, but here goes nothing. What is Synchronous? My best guess is that it is one’s ability the ability to connect to other copies of self in all three worlds, in a way existing a processing all three at the same time. Hot? Cold? Thank you for opening these forums!

Hi James, big fan of your work. You mentioned ages ago about there potentially being another book in the Licanious world. Although I am enjoying this new trilogy so far, I am wondering if that potential book is still something that you’re thinking about or does it look like it’s not something that you’re going to come back to?
