Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]

The Ming dynasty becomes a battleground for the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Order of the Templars in this blockbuster action novel from a previously unexplored part of the beloved Assassin's Creed universe.

China, 16th century. The Assassins are gone. Zhang Yong, the relentless leader of the Eight Tigers, took advantage of the emperor's death to eliminate all his opponents, and now the Templars hold all the power. Shao Jun, the last representative of her clan, barely escapes death and has no choice but to flee her homeland. Vowing to avenge her former brothers in arms, she travels to Europe to train with the legendary Ezio Auditore. When she returns to the Middle Kingdom, her saber and her determination alone will not be enough to eliminate Zhang Yong: she will have to surround herself with allies and walk in the shadows to defeat the Eight Tigers.^[4]

-''During the [[Ming dynasty|Ming Dynasty]], in the [[Zhengde Emperor|Zhengde]] years, the "[[Eight Tigers]]", the eunuch group of the [[Chinese Rite of the Templar Order|Chinese Rite]] of the [[Templars|Knights Templar]], won the emperor's favor, with the dog and horse, singing and dancing, fighting, with strict punishment and law, under the authority of the authorities. At that time, the leader [[Zhang Yong]] set up the "[[Great Rites Controversy]]" when the emperor died, giving a fatal blow to the enemy, the [[Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins|Chinese Brotherhood]]. Suddenly, the Chinese Brotherhood was overturned, and thousands of years of inheritance were in jeopardy, and Zhang Yong secretly arranged to set up a conspiracy to [[New World Order|seize]] the [[Earth|world]]. Among the catastrophe, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Shao Jun]] escaped death by a hair's breadth. She took the top secret mission to go to [[Europe]]'s mainland, and studied under the legendary [[Master Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]], leading a pious life with concentration and waiting for the opportunity to act. The story of Shao Jun begins on the road of vengeance...<br /><br />Who is the true leader of the Chinese Brotherhood? Can Shao Jun kill the Eight Tigers with her own strength? Where will the fate of the Ming Dynasty end up?<br /><br />This [[Assassin-Templar War|chess game involving the world]] has already tipped the scales, and will sway old hatreds of the Brotherhood and the Knights Templar!''<ref name="Bilibili" /><ref>{{Twitter|AccessTheAnimus|status/1109513216151994370|AccessTheAnimus|quote=New synopsis / cover for "Assassin's Creed: The Ming Storm - An Assassin's Creed Story"!
