An endless conflict.
An ancient mistake.
A new revelation.
A member of the Inner Temple of the Knights Templar, Simon Hathaway brings a cool head and a detached attitude to his new position: Director of Historical Research at Abstergo Industries. But Simon also had an insatiable curiosity, and he was fascinated by the idea of experiencing history firsthand through his ancestor, Gabrielle Laxal, who fought alongside the legendary Joan of Arc.
As he enters the newly designed Animus to carry out its initial projects, Simon discovers he is unprepared for the secrets he discovers: the depth of the conflict between Templars and Assassins, and what his ancestors were willing to do for the woman he loved. As he slowly uncovers the secrets of his past, a dangerous truth is also placed in front of Simon:
Who are the heretics…and who are the true believers.
