The Influencer

Inspired by the Biblical story of Jezebel and Athaliah

Addie Royal never wanted power. Running a homeless shelter was her calling—until Ashton Rutherford proposed and swept her into the ruthless world of political Christianity. Under the tutelage of Ashton's mother Eva, a woman who built a dynasty from nothing, Addie learns to weaponize compassion, silence opposition, and justify wickedness in God's name.

Ten years later, the empire begins to crack. Someone has been playing a long game, learning Eva's tactics and turning them into weapons. As the carefully constructed facade crumbles, three women—the architect, the apprentice, and the orphan—face a devastating reckoning. When you've become the monster you claimed to fight, is redemption even possible?

A searing exploration of power, faith, and the price of revenge, The Influencer asks whether the cycle of corruption can ever truly be broken—or if it only creates new victims hungry for their turn to wound.
