Description
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.
A Note From the Publisher
– Assassin’s Creed is one of the most popular and recognizable video game series of all time, with more than 150 million games sold and close to 4 million active monthly players.
– For the first time, these are not novelizations but totally original Assassin’s Creed fiction that will reveal a hitherto unexplored part of the eternal war between the Assassins and the dreaded Templars.
– Fan-favorite character Shao Jun takes center stage in the first of a trilogy that is rich in authentic Chinese culture and breathtaking action.
– Just the start of a complete publishing program from Aconyte that will do for Assassin’s Creed what the Black Library did for Warhammer and The Horus Heresy.
