Ancient Mongolia is the stage for the latest epic adventure in the
award-winning Assassin's Creed(R) universe, as assassin Shao Jun
fights a sinister plot that spells the downfall of the Brotherhood of
the Assassins
China, 16th century CE - The Brotherhood of Assassins has been all but
eradicated by the Chinese Emperor. Restoring the Brotherhood to its
former glory is no easy feat, but it is Shao Jun's duty, and her best
chance of survival. When she learns that an old foe has acquired a
powerful artifact with which he intends to lure any remaining Assassins
to their deaths, Shao Jun hastens to Mongolia. There, political intrigue
between Mongolian royalty, an exiled prince, and the lethal tensions
between Mongolia and China draw her into their web. But when she
discovers an even more sinister actor behind the intrigue who is
creating monsters for a brutal takeover of the region, Shao Jun vows to
do everything in her power to stop it.
