Overview
This five-book paperback bundle collects five acclaimed Assassin's Creed novels by Oliver Bowden, spanning centuries of covert warfare between Assassins and Templars. From Altair's early trials in the Holy Land to Edward Kenway's pirate exploits in the Caribbean, each title stands alone while deepening the shared mythology behind the bestselling Ubisoft video game franchise.

About the Books
Each novel in this set dramatizes a different chapter of the Assassin's Creed saga, translating the game's stealth-action storytelling into fast-paced prose. The Secret Crusade follows Altair through the Holy Land as he wrestles with the founding tenets of the Assassin Brotherhood. Forsaken shifts to 1735 London, tracing Haytham Kenway's turn from a grieving son into a calculating operative caught between competing loyalties. Unity plunges into the chaos of the French Revolution, following a young Assassin through riot-torn Paris as the monarchy collapses. Underworld is set in 1862 London during construction of the first underground railway, where a disgraced Assassin operates undercover to stop a Templar plot. Black Flag closes the set with Edward Kenway's rise from privateer to infamous pirate captain during the Golden Age of Piracy. Together, the five novels move between vividly rendered historical settings — the Crusades, Georgian London, Revolutionary France, Victorian England, and the high seas — while keeping the long-running Assassins-versus-Templars conflict at the center of every plot. Bowden's brisk pacing mirrors the game's momentum, making these novels a natural pick for players wanting more time in the Assassin's Creed universe, and for historical fiction fans who enjoy conspiracy and adventure. Packaged as a five-book paperback set, this collection offers strong value for fans building a complete run of the series.
