Consumed in Capital City by N.G. Avant is a raw and resonant debut novel that blends political drama with a deeply personal story of growth, ambition, and emotional reckoning. Calista Caldwell lands her dream job in the heart of Capital City's political machine, but the line between professional success and personal sacrifice quickly begins to blur. As she fights to be seen in a male-dominated arena, Cal also faces heartbreak, identity loss, and the haunting question: Who is she without the job? This is a story of self-love that is hard-earned and a reminder that finding your voice often means losing your footing first.
Author N.G. Avant has a confident command of storytelling that gives this novel great balance, capturing the high-stakes tension of political life but also keeping the intimate voice of personal transformation, so readers stay connected to the story at all times. Calista is a great central figure, and the story is just as bold, introspective, and unapologetically female as the heroine herself. With empowerment at its heart, this is a story for every woman who’s ever had to fight twice as hard, as it contains so many relatable moments to the daily struggles women face in any workplace today. With the state of the world right now, stories like this are more important than ever, and one that is so compelling and candid is a real education about the cost of ambition and the value of self-discovery. The dramatic consequences are realistically paced. Overall, Consumed in Capital City is a powerful blend of politics and personal truth that is highly recommended to fans of realistic drama and empowering women’s fiction.
