[[File:ACIII-ShardofEden 1.png|thumb|150px|A Shard of Eden.]]<br />
The '''Shards of Eden''' were teal, ring-like [[Pieces of Eden]], which were invented by the [[First Civilization]] to serve as personal shields for their wearers. The Shards projected an electromagnetic field which protected their wearers from projectile damage, such as energy weapons as well as conventional weapons.<br />
<br />
At some point, a Shard came into the possession of the renowned privateer [[William Kidd]], and its ability to deflect metal or, more specifically, metal [[Firearms|musket balls]], contributed to stories of Kidd's invincibility. Kidd eventually chose to hide his Shard on [[Oak Island]], to keep it safe from [[Templars|Templar]] forces who sought it. To this end, Kidd created a map that provided clues to the Shard's location, and divided it among four of his former crew members.<br />
<br />
Years later, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] managed to gather the four pieces of the map and, together with [[Robert Faulkner]], the pair travelled to Oak Island to obtain the Shard.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Exposure to the [[Animus]] transferred the effects of the Shard to [[Desmond Miles]].<br />

==Book summary==<br />
{{Quote|I am an expert swordsman. And I am skilled in the business of death. I take no pleasure in my skill. Simply, I am good at it.|Haytham Kenway}}<br />
1735 – London, Haytham Kenway has been taught to use a sword from the age he was able to hold one. When his family's house is attacked – his father murdered and his sister taken by armed men, Haytham defends his home the only way he can...he kills. With no family, he is taken in by a mysterious tutor who trains him to become a deadly killer.<br />
<br />
Consumed by his thirst for revenge, Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and questioning everything he has ever known. <br />
Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The release date, December 4, is also the date that Haytham was born.<br />
*The prologue to the book was written by Connor, it read: "''I never knew him. Not really. I thought I had, but it wasn't until I read this journal that I realized I hadn't really known him at all. And it's too late now. Too late to tell him I misjudged him. Too late to tell him I'm sorry."''<br />
*Unlike the other novels, ''Forsaken'' does not follow the same story as the game. It instead follows Haytham's story throughout the same time period.<br />
