King of Authority A Novel by Barry Sargent Power doesn't announce itself. It edits. Maximus Mogley is a brilliant junior editor buried inside New York's elite publishing world-smart enough to recognize power, hungry enough to chase it, and invisible enough to be underestimated. Everything changes when an anonymous manuscript crosses his desk. The book is electric. Dangerous. And impossible. Its pages contain political secrets that haven't been made public-events that haven't even happened yet. Within weeks, the manuscript becomes a cultural phenomenon. Within days, its author disappears. As Maximus rises on the back of the book's success, he is drawn into a secret society of editors, agents, and cultural architects known only as The Curators-a group that doesn't just publish stories, but engineers belief. They decide which voices rise, which disappear, and which narratives quietly shape the nation. Mentored by the elegant and ruthless Vivienne Dawes, Maximus learns the truth of authority: books are not art-they are leverage. But as journalists start asking questions, his sister begins uncovering legal inconsistencies buried in the text, and a powerful senator takes interest in his influence, Maximus realizes his ascent was not accidental. He was chosen. And in a world where stories rewrite reality, the price of power is never paid up front. Dark, cerebral, and unflinchingly intelligent, King of Authority is a prestige political thriller about ambition, narrative control, and the invisible forces that decide who rules-and who vanishes. This is the rise. The fall comes later.
