Magnus Vail had never been a builder. He had never invented, never pioneered, never created. He took, reshaped, and erased those who had done the work before him. He bought his way into success, rewrote history to place himself at the center of it, and convinced the world he was a genius. His empire was built on deception, his wealth a product of manipulation. And yet, by the time he stood at the right hand of the Chairman, it no longer mattered how he got there.

Cora and Alex had tried to break the spell. They had shown the lawsuits, the court transcripts where the network itself admitted that no reasonable person would mistake its content for real news. They had pleaded with their parents to see the truth, to recognize the cycle of fear and outrage that kept them glued to the screen, trapped in a world that didn’t exist.

Cora had tried to leave. FLAGGED FOR REVIEW. No appeal. No escape. She was trapped, forgotten, erased. Alone in her empty apartment, the propaganda droned on. The Circle provides. The Circle protects. The Circle secures your future. She had fought it for so long. But now, in the silence, she felt it sinking in.

In The Rule of the Elite, power was not taken by force—it was consolidated in plain sight. The Chairman’s rise was not the work of a single mastermind but the quiet alignment of billionaires, war profiteers, media moguls, and religious empire-builders who each secured their own dominion before the Circle ever took control.

The Ghoul was never meant to be seen, only felt. He did not command armies, nor did he bask in the adoration of the masses. He did not need to. His power was quieter, more insidious. He whispered in the Chairman’s ear, turning hatred into doctrine, fear into policy, cruelty into law. He crafted the justification for every purge, every detention center, every vanishing citizen.
