The conspiracies of the Templars reverberate across nineteenth century
Europe as they seize control of the future, and only the Brotherhood of
Assassins can hold them back, in this globetrotting adventure from
Assassin's Creed
Cairo, 1869. When a bomb goes off at the Khedivial Opera House
celebrating the opening of the new Suez Canal, visiting Assassin
Pierrette Arnaud investigates, only to uncover a plot to eradicate free
will... To her surprise, her old friend and teacher Simeon Price arrives
in Egypt on the same trail, seven years after they allied to stop the
Templars in London. But there's no time to reminisce as the Templars
maneuver Europe and Africa like pieces on a chessboard, wreaking havoc
on a global scale. As Simeon and Pierrette race to stop further attacks,
they unearth plans suggesting a mysterious tower is the key to the
ultimate Templar takeover... and with the puzzling Engine of History in
their grasp, the Assassins might be outmatched at last.
