Empire

It’s the turn of the century in America, and industrialization has planted its roots deep. Smog-choked cities produce and destroy in equal measure as the spark of electricity begins to flow to millions. Maxwell Prouse lives in such a city, working as an accountant at a local steel mill, dreaming of a better life for himself and his fiancée, Emma. His opportunity comes in the form of an invitation to join The Empire, a prestigious social club. With his acceptance by society’s elite, he’s brought into a world of old money and lurid decadence that few could ever hope to imagine. In time, he discovers the true authority behind the Empire: A shadowy and secretive brotherhood known as the Order. Using the eldritch power granted to them by an ancient being, they claim it is their sole purpose to direct humanity towards a brighter future; all that is required is utter submission. Inducted into their ranks, Maxwell soon finds himself dealing with men who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, and for whom the ends always justify the means. Corruption and murder are their bywords, and he is just another cog in their infernal machine.
