About this title

Synopsis

A keen portrait of a rising politician and the costs of ambition, love, and public life.

This novel follows a man who must balance influence with inner doubt as his world tightens around him.

In a world of political maneuvering and crowded drawing rooms, a young editor and his circle orbit a senior politician whose career promises power—and whose personal connections pull him toward uncertain ground. From bustling offices to quiet hotel rooms, the story threading through is as much about the price of success as it is about the people who help or threaten to derail it. The book builds a mood of tension and introspection, inviting readers to watch how ordinary decisions ripple into dramatic consequences.
