A conspiracy, also known as a plot, is a secret plan or agreement between people (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it.
In a political sense, conspiracy refers to a group of people united in the goal of usurping, altering or overthrowing an established political power. Depending on the circumstances, a conspiracy may also be a crime, or a civil wrong. The term generally connotes, or implies, wrongdoing or illegality on the part of the conspirators, as it is commonly believed that people would not need to conspire to engage in activities that were lawful and ethical, or to which no one would object.
In my trilogy, the conspirators are a religious cult, a monk and a curator, a nasty mafia organization, and generally greedy people. While there isn't necessarily any usurping here, there is murder over extremely potent secrets that would change the history of the world. Not only that, but the revelation of these secrets would change our understanding of Genesis 6:1-4.
