About this ebook

Betrayed by the ruling families of Italy, a young man embarks upon an epic quest for vengeance during the Renaissance in this novel based on the Assassin's Creed™ video game series. 

 “I will seek vengeance upon those who betrayed my family. I am Ezio Auditore Da Firenze. I am an Assassin…”

To eradicate corruption and restore his family’s honor, Ezio will learn the art of the Assassins. Along the way, he will call upon the wisdom of such great minds as Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavello—knowing that survival is bound to the skills by which he must live.

To his allies, he will become a force for change—fighting for freedom and justice. To his enemies, he will become a threat dedicated to the destruction of the tyrants abusing the people of Italy.

So begins an epic story of power, revenge and conspiracy...

An Original Novel Based on the Multiplatinum Video Game from Ubisoft 

Ratings and reviews

So much better than the games as far as the story. The games literally leave out all the details and how and why things are the way they are and why things are happening. I was deeply dissatisfied with the games lack of the whole story and fragmented bits and pieces that would have you hooked like the books. I would definitely recommend the books before you play the games to have a better understanding of what's going on and how to navigate the world's in the missions.

I never read books but the book found me asking to borrow it. IV only really played the game for a hour. If I like a game its just a good story line best game next to zedla in story lines nice book to love it :3

I'm a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed stories. I played the game and this book is an almost direct copy of the game. I enjoyed it because of some of the additional information that was given from time to time. Highly recommend it for the true AC fans!
