The Assassin's Creed series is a collection of novels by various authors, set within the fictional universe of the Assassin's Creed video game franchise created by Ubisoft. The books are set across various time periods and, like the games, revolve around the secret war fought for centuries between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order. The series includes both direct novelizations of several Assassin's Creed games, and books that function as standalone narratives, although some of these tie-in with one or more of the games in the franchise. British publishing house Penguin Books was responsible for the publication of most of the novels in the series, as well as their respective audiobook versions, until 2020, when Aconyte Books took over as the main publisher of the series.

Novelizations and tie-ins

Renaissance (2009)

The first official Assassin's Creed novel, Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, was written by Anton Gill (under the pen name Oliver Bowden) and is a novelization of Assassin's Creed II . It was published by Penguin Books on 20 November 2009 in the United Kingdom, [1] and on 23 February 2010 in the United States. While the novel follows the game's events involving Ezio Auditore da Firenze (with the modern-day aspect entirely excluded), it changes much of the dialogue, the appearances of certain characters, and how some events occurred. It also omits certain events, while including others not featured in the game (some of these, such as Ezio's relationship with his first girlfriend, Cristina Vespucci, would later be adapted in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ).

Brotherhood (2010)

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the second novel in the series, was also written by Anton Gill and is based on the video game of the same name. It was published by Penguin Books on 25 November 2010 in the United Kingdom, and on 30 November in the United States. Like Assassin's Creed: Renaissance, the novel changes some elements from Brotherhood, including an entirely new sequence of events set during the time skip from 1503 to 1507 in the game, but is overall a much more faithful adaptation.

The Secret Crusade (2011)

Assassin's Creed:The Secret Crusade is the first novel in the series written by Andrew Holmes (using the same name pen name of Oliver Bowden), and depicts the story of Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad, as told by Niccolò Polo in his journal. While the book adapts the events of Assassin's Creed , Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines , and the Altaïr sequences from Assassin's Creed Revelations , it is primarily a standalone narrative that covers Altaïr's entire life, from his childhood to his death in 1257. It was published by Penguin Books on 23 June 2011 in the United Kingdom, and on 28 June in the United States.

Revelations (2011)

Assassin's Creed:Revelations is the final novel in the series written by Anton Gill and is an adaptation of the video game of the same name, focusing on Ezio Auditore's side of the story. The novel also describes the final years of Ezio's life, after the events of the game, and includes a novelization of the short film Assassin's Creed: Embers . It was published by Penguin Books on 24 November 2011 in the United Kingdom, and on 29 November 2011 in the United States.

Instead, it tells the story of Haytham Kenway, the game's main antagonist, from his childhood to his death in 1781, showing a mirrored perspective to what the game portrays. Similarly to Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade, the novel is written in an in-universe style, being presented as Haytham's journal, which his son Connor (the game's main protagonist) recovers and reads through following his father's death. Forsaken was published by Penguin Books on 4 December 2012 in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

Black Flag (2013)

Assassin's Creed:Black Flag, again written by Andrew Holmes, is based on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag .

Underworld (2015)

Assassin's Creed:Underworld was again written by Andrew Holmes and is based on Assassin's Creed Syndicate . It was published by Penguin Books on 5 November 2015 in the United Kingdom, and on 1 December in the United States. The novel primarily focuses on the character of Jayadeep Mir, son of the Assassin Arbaaz Mir, before he adopted the identity of Henry Green and instead operated as "The Ghost" in London. The first two thirds of the book are mainly set in 1862, six years before the events of Syndicate, and alternate between the perspectives of Henry and several other characters, such as Detective Frederick Abberline and Henry's mentor Ethan Frye.
