Description

Taking the premise that urgent action to avert climate change and environmental destruction requires radical solutions, the story unfolds around an ancient and secretive company known as the Diadem Corporation. At its head, an unexpected climate champion emerges in the form of its celebrity CEO, Brigitte Fassbender, who, at a stroke, saves the Brazilian Amazon. In return for paying off the country’s crippling national debt, Fassbender secures a ninety nine year lease ending decades long destruction through deforestation and mining.

Unknown even to Fassbender at its head, her announcement to the world that the Amazon has been saved triggers the final stage of an ancient conspiracy hidden within the Diadem Corporation. Deep within the company’s fabric, a mysterious order known as the Fellowship of Dael meets to decide on the fate of humanity itself. On pain of death, supplicants of the order have worked for successive generations to ensure the Fellowship’s centuries old plans come to fruition resulting in decedents of the Dael, a long-extinct race of beings who first visited Earth in antiquity, take what the order sees as their rightful place as rulers over the morally inferior human race. A closely-guarded secret amongst an influential elite within the Diadem Corporation, the Fellowship’s intentions remain obscure until the dénouement of the story.
