A young emperor's life hangs in the balance in ancient Constantinople,
and only the Brotherhood of Assassins can save him, in this
action-packed historical adventure from the award-winning Assassin's
Creed universe
Constantinople, 867 - A murderous plot is afoot. Assisted by the Order
of the Ancients, the emperor schemes to assassinate his son and throw
the city into chaos. In response, the Hidden Ones have dispatched
Assassin acolyte Hytham to join his mentor, Basim Ibn Ishaq, to
infiltrate the palace and foil the emperor's plan. But that is not his
only mission... Hytham's brotherhood have entrusted him with uncovering
where Basim's true loyalties lie and whether the master Assassin's
personal obsessions outweigh his sense of duty. For Hytham to succeed,
he must tread carefully, for Constantinople is a city of shadows, and
danger hides in all of them.
