Are you one of the 96 million people who play Assassins Creed?
Counting down the days for the movie starring Michael Fassbender to come out?



Assassins Creed is a thrilling adventure franchise that has inspired video games, comics, novels and now movies set in a mysterious alternate history that rockets between the near future and the far-flung past.

These adventures feature real world events from history and follow the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. In the games, our heroes use the Animus, a futuristic device developed by the Abstergo Corporation that allows them to experience the ancestral memories of their familys bloodline. Starting with the Third Crusade, the games and novels have explored a wide variety of settings including the Renaissance, Colonial America, the Golden Age of Piracy, the French Revolution, Imperial China, and Russias October Revolution. With settings like Victoria-era London, Ottoman-era Constantinople and the slippery rooftops of Paris, the Assassins Creed adventures are a thrill ride not to be missed.

Come and hear Matthew Kirby talk all things Assassin's Creed with a panel of experts and tell us about his new Assassin's Creed novel, Last Descendants, a historical action adventure about a group of teens caught up in the centuries-old Assassin-Templar feud. Inspired by the video game series, Last Descendants is set concurrently in the present day, 1860's New York City, and during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. This exciting novel also features real-life historical figures including William Boss Tweed, Hernán Cortés, and renowned opera singer Adelina Patti, among others.  

Nothing in Owen's life has been right since his father died in prison, accused of a crime Owen is certain he didn't commit. Monroe, the IT guy at school, might finally bring Owen the means to clear his father's name by letting him use an Animus-a device that lets users explore genetic memories buried within their own DNA. During a simulation, Owen uncovers the existence of a powerful relic long considered a legend - the Trident of Eden. Now two secret organizations will stop at nothing to take possession of this artifact - the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. It becomes clear the only way to save himself is to find the Trident first.
