Margaret Perkins is the most feared woman in publishing—and she has worked very hard to earn that title.
Behind her corner office, her mountain of review copies, and her devastating column in The Meridian Review, lies a system she has built piece by piece over twenty years: the strategic destruction of her predecessor, the calculated removal of a senior editor who stood between her and a bigger chair, the quiet extraction of adoration and favors from young authors desperate for her approval, and a scheme to sell advance review copies for unreported cash that has made her considerably wealthier than her salary suggests.
Her assistant, Amy Morrow, has spent four years learning the job—and watching. When Amy finally photographs Margaret loading the suitcase bound for Cornerstone Books, she has a choice to make. And the choice she makes will not deliver what she expected.
Paper Throne is a literary novel about ambition without conscience, power without accountability, and what it costs a person—any person—to want something badly enough to use people to get it. Told with precision, dark humor, and unflinching honesty, it is a story about the price of ambition and the unexpected weight of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
