They built empires from silence. Now silence demands a reckoning. In a world ruled by four corporate titans, power is no longer political — it's systemic. Ports, grids, currencies, and biotech form the arteries of civilisation, and the cartel controls them all. But when the enigmatic Erasmus Vale vanishes, leaving behind only an obsidian chair and a cryptic prophecy, the war for control turns apocalyptic. As fever spreads, cities darken, and alliances fracture, one man — Miles Renn — uncovers the truth buried in Vale's final archive. The chair is not a throne. It's a curse. And whoever claims it may remake the world… or destroy it. The Empty Chair is a haunting corporate thriller about betrayal, memory, and the cost of silence.
