Emily Rampling thought she understood the nature of power.
But she didn't know the unexpected forms power could take, bending and adapting to suit its needs.
She wasn't aware of the ways power could infiltrate unnoticed into the highest echelons of government, soaking the most hallowed chambers with its influence.
She didn't realize the methods in which power could weave an invisible fabric that manipulated society with hidden secrets and unannounced agendas.

But she was about to find out.
About the ways power could pulse.
About the ways power could penetrate.
About the ways power could PERVADE.
