Description:
Election night, America breaks.
President Ted Hawley refuses to accept defeat. He freezes the vote count, weaponizes the news cycle, and dares a divided nation to stop him. Protests ignite, markets convulse, militias mobilize-and the Constitution becomes a battlefield.
Then a hidden failsafe from the founding era awakens. Created by George Washington and twelve early leaders, The Washington Decree was designed for one purpose: to defend the Republic from internal tyranny. Its guardians-known only as the Thirteen-have watched from the shadows for more than two centuries. Now, for the first time, they must act.
President-elect Tracy Rockefeller is brilliant, disciplined, and untested at this scale. Thrust into the storm with her daughter, Elle, she must navigate a collapsing Washington where loyalties fracture, alliances splinter, and buried truths surface-while Hawley tightens his grip and the country edges toward civil conflict.
