Assassin's Creed: Heresy

An endless conflict. An ancient injustice. A new revelation. Another original story from the Assassin's Creed universe. Winner of the 2017 Scribe Award, from New York Times bestselling author Christie Golden, Heresy is another original story in the Assassin's Creed universe. Reliving the memories of his ancestor who fought alongside Joan of Arc, the high-ranking Templar, Simon Hathaway uncovers secrets from the past that could dangerously affect his present and that of the entire Templar Order. Simon Hathaway, a member of the Templars' inner holy hall and the new Head of Abstergo Industries' Historical Research Division, brings a rational approach and a distinct way of performing certain tasks to the department. But Simon also harbors an insatiable curiosity and is fascinated by the idea of experiencing history firsthand, through his ancestor Gabriel Laxart, who fought alongside the legendary Joan of Arc. When he enters the Animus, newly renovated for a project, Simon finds himself unprepared for what he finds; for the depth of the conflict between the Templars and Assassins. For what Gabriel will do for the woman he loves and reveres in equal measure. And to the most dangerous truth of all: who is the heretic and who is the true keeper of the faith.
