Silent Empire tells the story of Alexander Ward, a young corporate executive and rising star at the prestigious New York investment bank, Hamilton and Company. Working under the tutelage of his father-in-law and company president, Nathan Hamilton, Alex is living the quintessential "American Dream". But at this Wall Street firm, business is anything but usual, and the deals being brokered by Alex and his co-workers aren't by the books; they all serve one common purpose - global domination for an all-powerful secret society known as The Order.
For centuries, The Order has been pulling the strings of world-shaping events, igniting global wars, collapsing financial markets, exploiting the planet for their own power and profit. And soon they will enact the final stages of a sinister agenda that traces its roots back to the American Revolution. But when someone begins eliminating members of The Order one by one, their plans are sent into a tailspin. The remaining scramble to find out who is responsible, but the real question is why.
