Description

Learn how the Assassin known as Connor came to be a deadly killer in this novel based on the Assassin's Creed(TM) video game series that follows his father--Templar Grand Master, Haytham Kenway.

"I am an expert swordsman. And I am skilled in the business of death. I take no pleasure in my skill. Simply, I am good at it."

1735, London. Haytham Kenway has been taught to use a sword from the age he was able to hold one. When his family's house is attacked--his father murdered and his sister taken by armed men--Haytham defends his home the only way he can: he kills.

With his family destroyed, he is taken in by a mysterious tutor who trains him to become a deadly killer. Consumed by his thirst for revenge, Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and questioning everything he has ever known.

Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.

An Original Novel Based on the Multiplatinum Video Game from Ubisoft
