Publisher's summary

In 1927, Darius Gift, young, handsome, terribly entitled, is given his first mission for the ancient Templar Order, and the chance to clear his tarnished family name. All doesn't quite go to plan when he arrives in Shanghai, however, and his inexperience jeopardizes the whole operation. Thankfully, he isn't the only Templar new to the city, as the enigmatic Black Cross is stalking the shadows... and saving Darius from failure! Collecting the first arc of the brand new explosive Templars series, from the world of Assassin's Creed, Fred Van Lente and Dennis Calero offer a new perspective on the century-spanning feud between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order!^[3]
