About the Book:
Set against the turbulent backdrop of 1789 Paris, Unity continues Oliver Bowden's acclaimed run of novels based on Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed games. As the aristocracy clings to power and the streets fill with revolutionary cries, Arno Dorian and Elise de la Serre find themselves swept into the ancient, secretive conflict between the Assassins and the Templars. Raised almost as siblings yet separated by opposing allegiances, the pair navigate gilded salons, shadowy hideouts and rooftop pursuits across a city reinventing itself in blood and fire. Loyalties are tested and secrets uncovered as personal vengeance collides with a revolution threatening to consume everyone in its path. Bowden's prose captures both the grandeur of revolutionary Paris and the grit of its back alleys, weaving real historical figures and events into the fictional Assassin-Templar struggle. Themes of power, betrayal, courage and sacrifice run throughout, as ordinary lives are caught up in extraordinary events. Newcomers will find Unity an accessible entry point into the wider universe, while long-time readers will enjoy seeing the saga's central conflict play out against a dramatic historical backdrop. The novel works as a standalone adventure or part of the continuing series, offering satisfying character development and a plot that keeps pace with the game's own memorable set pieces.
