The world now lies divided not amongst political or geographic boundaries but amongst financial ones.
Wealth is power, and that power rests now with only a handful of Families.
As alliances fray and allegiances are tested, these rulers of the world have gathered once more. A Conclave has been called, bringing together the leaders, their advisors, and most perilously, their Lazari -- the superhuman champions bound to the Families that created them -- in one place.
While a delicate dance of formality and politics takes place, the stakes are nothing less than world domination.
Two factions have emerged:
Those who follow Jacob Hock and those who follow Malcolm Carlyle.
Forever Carlyle is the Lazarus of her Famly.
She has been raised believing she is a Carlyle.
She has been raised believing Family Above All.
She has been raised to be loyal.
She has been raised to obey.
She has never had any reason to question it.
Until now.
Collects Lazarus #10-15.
