Learn how the Assassin known as Connor came to be a deadly killer in
this novel based on the Assassin's Creed(TM) video game series that
follows his father--Templar Grand Master, Haytham Kenway.
"I am an expert swordsman. And I am skilled in the business of death. I
take no pleasure in my skill. Simply, I am good at it."
1735, London. Haytham Kenway has been taught to use a sword from the age
he was able to hold one. When his family's house is attacked--his father
murdered and his sister taken by armed men--Haytham defends his home the
only way he can: he kills.
With his family destroyed, he is taken in by a mysterious tutor who
trains him to become a deadly killer. Consumed by his thirst for
revenge, Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and
questioning everything he has ever known.
Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the
centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.
