As a boy, Lincoln saw his abusive father killed by a monster. As an adult he doesn't believe in monsters- or in anything else- until a mysterious man called Mr. Clarke offers him membership of an exclusive organisation known only as 'Lore.' 

If you are wealthy and discreet, they can show you the secrets of our universe, and others too. Not content to stay on the fringes of the company, Lincoln begins to work for Lore's Outlander unit, under Clarke's supervision. Here, he determines to put the mundane world and his old life behind him... but past and future are not so easily detached, and soon events are set in motion that will put his new team at great risk. Together, Lincoln and the Outlander unit will go on a dark odyssey into the very heart of the company...
