Book summary

"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

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.

Consumed by his thirst for revenge, Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and questioning everything he has ever known. Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.

Trivia

The release date, December 4, is also the date that Haytham was born.
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."
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.
