==Publisher's summary==
''It is the High Tang of China, and an ancient war between freedom and order presents itself. In 755 CE, a civil war erupts within the dynasty. With his influence among the [[Golden Turtles]], ''{{wiki|Jiedushi}}'' [[An Lushan]] develops a splinter faction, the [[Yeluohe]]. To seize leadership, he raises an army and rebels. The court, controlled by the head of the Golden Turtles, [[Yang Guozhong]], has no power to pacify the rebellion. The common people, their world in turmoil, wander the lands as refugees. [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Li E]] forms an alliance with the family of loyal official [[Yan Zhenqing]] to resist, hoping to reel back the storm. They ultimately become a generation of Master Assassins, establishing the forerunner of the [[Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins]]: the [[Hidden Ones]]''.<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://www.iyingdi.com/web/article/home/105303/ |title= 《刺客信条》系列的首部中国原创漫画《刺客信条：王朝》即将上线| language=zh | date=29-07-2020| publisher=''Iyingdi''| accessdate= 06-08-2020}}</ref>
