Assassin's Creed: The Resurrection Plot

By: Kate Heartfield

The conspiracies of the Templars reverberate across nineteenth century Europe as they seize control of the future, and only the Brotherhood of Assassins can hold them back, in this globetrotting adventure from Assassin’s Creed. About 87,000 words.

The sequel to The Magus Conspiracy.

Cairo, 1869. When a bomb goes off at the Khedivial Opera House celebrating the opening of the new Suez Canal, visiting Assassin Pierrette Arnaud investigates, only to uncover a plot to eradicate free will… To her surprise, her old friend and teacher Simeon Price arrives in Egypt on the same trail, seven years after they allied to stop the Templars in London. But there’s no time to reminisce as the Templars maneuver Europe and Africa like pieces on a chessboard, wreaking havoc on a global scale.

As Simeon and Pierrette race to stop further attacks, they unearth plans suggesting a mysterious tower is the key to the ultimate Templar takeover… and with the puzzling Engine of History in their grasp, the Assassins might be outmatched at last.

Kate Heartfield continues her tale of intrigue, action, and clever misdirection begun in The Magus Conspiracy. The Resurrection Plot spans decades as it sets up the trilogy’s finale with brisk pacing, engaging characters, and a climactic plot twist that cuts right back to the beginning of the previous book. Heartfield’s keen eye for historical detail makes it easy to believe Assassins and Templars really have been pulling the strings to shape our future. I can’t wait to see how she wraps it all up in the final installment.

Heartfield uses her vast expertise and love of history to transport readers to citiscapes so real, you’ll believe you’re there, all while setting the stakes higher than ever for her characters. You’ll love this one!
