Publisher's summary[edit | edit source]
A brand new arc! And an explosive new secret! While Charlotte is reeling from the meeting with Erudito, it is time for the Assassin cell headed by Brotherhood stalwart Galina Voronina to pull her team together... but will she be able to do it alone, or is it time for reinforcements?[1]
Plot summary[edit | edit source]
2016: A meeting of the leaders of Erudito has been called. The debate turns as to why Charlotte and her team were invited into discussions, with the topic turning quickly to that of Consus. It is quite clear the entity is of special reverence to the hacker collective, as the fact that Charlotte heard his voice is of great interest to them. Charlotte discovers the story behind Juno and the Phoenix Project, and that Erudito believed only Giovanni Borgia had been contacted by Consus—thus their interest. It turns out that they believe Giovanni has a second memory of Consus, that has been hidden from Abstergo. Fortunately for Charlotte, her ancestor Hiram Stoddard was in contact with Giovanni in 1516.
Erudito calls for a vote amongst its members, with Charlotte's grandmother calling for the creation of hive bases across the globe, and cross-training their own agents. Counter arguments are made for Erudito to stay out of events, and with the votes on a knife edge, Charlotte elects to stand in—offering a team up between the Brotherhood and Erudito. In exchange for Galina training and assisting their agents, Erudito will help track down Joseph Laurier. Charlotte will also seek Consus and answers within an Animus. The votes agree, and the course is set.
Galina leaves for Somalia, hugging Charlotte on her way out—the two finally getting along now. Before Charlotte can sit in the Animus, she reveals she was injured by Templar agents—Florencia thus insists on a full body scan to check for tracing chemicals or chips. Mid-scan, Kody wakes her to express his concerns about entering Hiram's memories—he fears the meeting with Consus did something to seriously derange his mind, and worries what it will do to Charlotte...
1516: Florence, Italy. Hiram Stoddard enters a building, and finds Giovanni Borgia hiding in wait. Although he dodges a thrown dagger, Giovanni is taken down by a swift kick from Hiram. Hiram then puts a sword to his throat...[2]

The city that shaped the modern western world
Nestled in the hills of Tuscany is Florence. Firenze. Founded in 59 BCE by Julius Caesar, it survived fear and famine, and became the birthplace of the modern Italian language. By the beginning of the 15th century, it had become one of the largest cities in Europe. It was there that the Renaissance flourished. This was thanks in large part to the Medici family. Originally textile traders, they capitalized on their wealth and rose to prominence in the 15th century, going on to found the Medici Bank, the largest in Europe at the time. This gave them unparalleled power in the region, especially in Florence. They encouraged the arts and humanism to thrive in the city where they made their home, and were visible at every level of government, even producing three Popes. While there were internal difficulties associated with such a large and powerful dynasty, their influence is eternal. Generations of Medici commissioned work from those who would become the great masters of Modern Art: Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo da Vinci, to name but a few. In doing so, the Medici family shaped the modern world.
