About this audiobook

Sophia Merritt believed she was changing the world. Fresh out of Harvard and working for a rising progressive star in Congress, she was ready to fight for justice, equity, and the grand ideals she had been taught. But the deeper she delves into Washington’s corridors of power, the more she realizes that the movement she devoted her life to is nothing more than a sham. When legendary Democratic strategist Malcolm Sinclair takes her under his wing, Sophia expects wisdom from a master of the game. Instead, she receives a brutal education in deception, media control, and ideological puppetry. At first, Sophia resists, clinging to the idealism that brought her to D.C. But when she witnesses the machine destroy one of its own—including Malcolm himself—she can no longer deny the truth. The system isn’t broken. It’s rigged by design. A darkly satirical and deeply incisive political thriller, this book exposes the corruption, narcissism, and intellectual rot that fuel modern politics.
