The Hierarchy has hit the ground running with action picking up in the first few pages - there really isn't much time to ease into the story before something major occurs. Try as I might, the story wants to take things down a certain road and I'm powerless to stop it. Hierarchy is forcing me to just jump into plot immediately - regardless of whether the books starts with a prologue or in medias res.
Things start off with Tarlin in a meeting of Thuin, preparing himself for his "choosing". The choosing is, in a way, a sorting process that helps the young Thuin decide what element they have an affinity for - it's the major starting point in there magical careers. Everything stays calm long enough for Tarlin's personality to come to the surface, but just as we begin to get into his head there is a sudden avalanche of events that trigger Zuriel's appearance. Within seconds, Tarlin finds himself being dragged out of the conclave, passes out, and finds himself in a cold stone room devoid of light or any clue as to how he's gotten there.
