Synopsis

A secret knowledge. A forbidden weapon.

England, Ravensthorpe camp, 9th century.

Kidnapped by Eivor, a powerful Viking jarlskona, Edward, copyist monk, seeks to understand the reasons which pushed his brother Ecbert to commit suicide...

Among the documents of the deceased, strange parchments blackened by a hermetic language were found. No one knows the provenance of this letters of occult appearance, but Edward has seen such signs before: in the workshop of Hytham, a man who had taken him under his wing.

Hytham belongs to a secret order: "The Hidden Ones". An order that can offer Edward answers, and guarantee his aspirations for freedom and knowledge. For that, Hytham proposes to send him to Lunden accompanied by Niels, a young Viking warrior as undisciplined as he is promising. There, they will undergo quick training in the form of an investigation on the trail of a cult with troubling practices... Following the clues to the mysterious lands of Scotland, they will be confronted with the dangerous stakes hidden within Edward's questions...^[1]

In April 2021, the new graphic novel was announced alongside eight other future Assassin's Creed projects. Game Informer reported that the comic will feature original characters and a new location to explore, Scotland.^[2]
