"A rich, fun, and engrossing mix of franchise lore and
Victorian-era history, Kate Heartfield brings her trademark
brilliant and thrilling storytelling to Assassin’s Creed. The Magus
Conspiracy sings with equal parts witty characters, series stealth,
and historical intrigue. A must-read for every Assassin’s Creed
fan."
*Mike Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars:
Brotherhood.*
"Heartfield shows a strong understanding of the tones of the
franchise, and it is clear she put a huge amount of effort into
making this book a reality. It is comforting to know then that
there are two further books coming in this series from her, which
will evidently take the story further and later in the nineteenth
century and theoretically up until the first World War."
*Access the Animus*
"Heartfield is an amazing author; her writing is enthralling, with
even the smallest moments captivating. In particular, her
descriptions of Pierrette’s acrobatics and the circus tricks were
so vivid I could picture them as I read on. It fits perfectly into
the genre of action-adventure video games in which the book is
written for. My heart was pounding through every fight scene, in
utter awe at every beautiful literary skyline."
*The Nerdy Archer*
"This book made me excited for the future of the franchise and
introduced me to a fantastic writer, Kate Heartfield. The research
that Kate put into this story is very thorough as I was able to
find information on all of the historical figures and events that
took place and read an accurate retelling that made this story
stand out from previous releases."
