Synopsis

A new chapter in the war between Assassins and Templars begins …

London, 1851—When Pierrette, a daring acrobat performing at the Great Exhibition, rescues the mathematician Ada Lovelace from a gang of thugs, she becomes immersed in an ancient feud between Assassins and Templars. But Lovelace is gravely ill, and shares her secrets
with Pierrette, sending the acrobat in search of a terrible weapon which she’d been developing for a shadowy figure known as “the Magus”. Pierrette’s only ally is Simeon Price, Lovelace’s childhood friend, who belongs to a Brotherhood devoted to free will.

With Simeon’s aid, they uncover a startling web of political assassinations destabilizing Europe. As they race to foil the Templars’ deadly plot, murders and bombs are everywhere they look, but hope is nowhere in sight.

Goodreads review by Khurram

The book centres around two main cha......more

Ciepła, gwieździsta noc. Czarny, może nawet trochę przerażający ocean. Jedyne co mogło zakłócić ten spokojny wieczór to wyrwa w dziobie i wdzierająca się lodowata woda. Krzyk i panika. Brytyjski okręt, znajdujący się aktualnie u wybrzeża Południowej Afryki, wpadł w niemałe kłopoty, dokładnie wpadł n......more

Goodreads review by Barry

This is really a 4 1/2 stars review but there aren't actual halves so I was happy to round up. First of all, I have never played Assassin's Creed, not because of any moral or philosophical stand about video games but rather as someone who peaked as a gamer in the late eighties and early nineties and......more

Grę Assasins Creed znałam jedynie z opowieści synów, więc gdy trafiła do mnie powieść oparta na tym znanym uniwersum zajrzałam do niej z pewnym sceptycyzmem, ale i ciekawością. I tym razem okazała się ona nie pierwszym stopniem do piekła, a skokiem w fascynujący i wabiący tajemnicą świat rozgrywek a......more
