The Ming dynasty becomes a battleground for the Brotherhood
of Assassins and the Order of the Templars in this blockbuster
action novel from a previously unexplored part of the beloved
Assassin’s Creed universe.
China, 16th century. The Assassins are gone. Zhang Yong, the relentless
leader of the Eight Tigers, took advantage of the emperor's death to
eliminate all his opponents, and now the Templars hold all the power.
Shao Jun, the last representative of her clan, barely escapes death and has
no choice but to flee her homeland. Vowing to avenge her former brothers
in arms, she travels to Europe to train with the legendary Ezio Auditore.
When she returns to the Middle Kingdom, her saber and her
determination alone will not be enough to eliminate Zhang Yong: she will
have to surround herself with allies and walk in the shadows to defeat the
Eight Tigers.
