Assassin’s Creed is so popular that it needs no introduction. Games have gained a group of fans, and new items are successively appearing, as well as books.
Assassin’s Creed: The Mage’s Conspiracy will be released on March 22 . A chance meeting can change your life. The fates of strangers can intertwine in a truly amazing style.
When Pierrette, an acrobat and circus performer, saves Countess Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and a brilliant mathematician, from the hands of thugs, she has no idea what this acquaintance will bring her. Ada wants friendship, but she has her secrets.
When Lance Corporal Simeon Price follows the advice of a hooded stranger and escapes aboard the sinking HMS Birkenhead to head to Vienna to find a secret brotherhood, little does he know that a fate far more interesting than that of a mere deserter awaits him. In Vienna, he makes acquaintance with Mr. Kane. The training begins, which is guided by a certain maxim … Nothing is true, everything is allowed.
Years ago, Simeon was taken in by Countess Lovelace’s mother to receive a solid education from her. He was the confidant of young Ada’s secrets, but in the name of his own ideals and keeping his friend’s secrets, he lost the privilege of living among the elite. Ada mentions him to Pierrette only on her deathbed, suffering from an illness. He hands the acrobat a coded letter, allegedly written by Simeon after the HMS Birkenhead disaster in which he was to die, and a notebook. Its contents can only be read by Simeon, Pierrette must find it. If you believe Ada’s words, the notes she made should lead to the trail of a certain Mage – an enigmatic scientist who supposedly developed a weapon that could change the order of the world.
The revolution continues. The fate of Europe hangs in the balance, and the forces that can influence it are hidden in the shadows… Dive deep into the world of the Victorian era and beware – the factions that shape reality can strike at any moment. And they will do it without warning.
