But even the most well-intentioned plans can spin out of control-will Moriartys dream of a more just and equal world turn him into a heroor a monster?In the late 19th century, Great Britain rules over a quarter of the world. Nobles sit in their fancy homes in comfort and luxury, while the working class slaves away at their jobs. When young Albert James Moriartys upper-class family adopts two lower-class orphans, the cruelty the boys experience at his familys hands cements Alberts hatred of the nobility he was born into. He asks the older of the two boys-who has a genius mind and a killer instinct-to help him rid the world of evil, starting with Alberts own family!
