Assassin

In an age when empires believed themselves eternal, one unseen man learned where power is most fragile.Assassin is a sweeping historical epic set in the 11th century, tracing the transformation of a nameless boy from the ruins of Babylon into the most feared weapon of a hidden order in the mountains of Persia. Raised in discipline, silence, and absolute purpose, he becomes an instrument of precise violence in a world where kings rule by armies, but history is altered by a single hand at the right moment.As viziers shape empires and crusader lords fortify their cities, a shadow begins to move through the corridors of power. The assassination of Nizam al-Mulk sends shockwaves across the Islamic world. The killing of Raymond II of Tripoli ignites panic in the West. Rumors spread of a brotherhood that strikes without warning and vanishes without a trace — men who fear neither death nor memory.But this is not the story of a cult, nor of fanaticism.
