Assassin's Creed: Renaissance is a novel based on the Assassin's Creed series written by Oliver Bowden and published by Penguin Books. It is a novelised version of the game Assassin's Creed II, except it is set only in the 15th century; present day does not come into account. The novel was released in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2009, six days after the UK release of Assassin's Creed II, and will be released in the United States on 23 February 2010.
Plot
"'I will seek vengeance upon those who betrayed my family. I am Ezio Auditore da Firenze. I am an assassin...'
Betrayed by the ruling families of Italy, a young man embarks upon an epic quest for vengeance. To eradicate corruption and restore his family's honour, he will learn the art of the assassin.
Along the way, Ezio will call upon the wisdom of such great minds as Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolò Machiavelli - knowing that survival is bound to the skills by which he must live.
To his allies, he will become a force for change - fighting for freedom and justice. To his enemies, he will become a threat dedicated to the desruction of the tyrants abusing the people of Italy.
So begins an epic story of power, revenge and conspiracy.
TRUTH WILL BE WRITTEN IN BLOOD"
