Assassin's Creed

Collected together for the first time, all eight Assassin's Creed novels based on the phenomenally successful gaming series. Fans of the game will love these stories. Titles in this Collection include: Underworld, Unity, Black Flag, Forsaken, Revelations, The Secret Crusade, Brotherhood, Renaissance.

The covert war between two secret organizations, the shadowy Templar Knights and the elite Order of Assassins, has been raging for millennia.

Following the murder of his father and brothers, Ezio Auditore di Firenze is entrusted with an ancient Codex, the key to a conspiracy that goes back to centuries. Ezio must avenge the deaths of his kinsmen and in doing so fulfil his destiny, and live by the laws of the Assassin's Creed.

Ezio's quest will test him to his limits. And in such treacherous times, conspiracy is everywhere, even within the ranks of the brotherhood itself . . .

We work in the dark to serve the light. We are assassins.

Reviews

Incredible. Just incredible. Belinda Bauer is a genius.

—— Clare Mackintosh, author of I LET YOU GO

...all the texture and depth of a classic crime thriller... This increasingly taut thriller is page-clawing material.

—— Stuart Winter, Daily Express

...this wintery chiller is a fantastic take on the serial killer thriller.

—— Sunday Mirror

The Beautiful Dead will keep you up all night.

—— Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR

Excellent tension.

—— The Times

...a book you'll read in one go after making sure every door is locked.

—— Red

Over half a dozen novels, Belinda Bauer has staked a claim to the gruesome, spectacular and bizarre... trademark ingenuity.

—— Sunday Times

A masterclass in storytelling. Crime novels don't get much better than this. I loved it

—— C L Taylor, author of THE ACCIDENT

Belinda Bauer is the connoisseur of crime novels.

—— ES Best, Evening Standard

...the formidably talented Belinda Bauer. From the award-winning Blacklands onwards, she has shown a plucky willingness to take the crime novel into completely unexpected territory, and a sure-fire grasp of how to unsettle the reader. Bauer aficionados need not hesitate; she's on typically scabrous form here.

—— Barry Forshaw , FT

Oh my, this is a clever, chilling, and penetrating read...I simply couldn’t put it down. With sharply spiked claws that hook into your mind and don't let go, The Beautiful Dead is a heart pounding and captivating read.

—— Liz Robinson , Lovereading

Belinda Bauer used to be a screenwriter and it shows in the fast pace and mounting tension that makes The Beautiful Dead a book you’ll read in one go with all the lights blazing after you’ve made sure every door is locked.

—— Sarra Manning

No one writes books like Belinda Bauer, who just gets better and better.

—— Sarah Hilary

...this all too believable thriller is fast-paced, taut and super scary

—— The Sun on Sunday’s Fabulous Magazine

Belinda Bauer is probably Britain's most original crime writer.

—— Crime Scene

...polished and breathtakingly tense, this novel of obsession and murder takes a firm grip from the start

—— Woman & Home

I have read serial killer-yarns that are more frightening but few as entertaining or, in its low-key way, as moving.

—— Telegraph

excellent and disturbing crimer

—— Sunday Sport

Loved I Let You Go and Behind Closed Doors? My Sister's Bones is guaranteed to be this year's most twisty and twisted read - you'll never see what's coming!

—— Ava Marsh, author of UNTOUCHABLE

This book is amazing - harrowing and compelling...a clever plot that twists right to the very end

—— Luana Lewis

A beautifully written, spine-tingling thriller that had me on the edge of my seat. My Sister's Bones is a compelling tale about the evil unleashed by war and the evil that can lurk in the very heart of our homes. Heart-wrenching and compelling

—— Sanjida Kay, author of Bone by Bone

If you loved The Girl on the Train, then this debut psychological thriller is for you ... dark, thrilling and full of unexpected twists and turns

Very different from every other psychological thriller I have read ... the perfect book for a book club

Full of tension, questions, secrets and lies... a spectacular finish with fireworks and an unbelievable turn

A great read with an astonishing twist

—— People's Friend

Goes straight on the shelf marked 'unputdownable'... scenes of great beauty and moments of great drama ... a splendid debut.

—— Robert Miller , Redburn Review

A great thing to read

—— Inside Soap

A fast-paced mystery thriller ... Thanks to Cotterell's convincing characters, you'll find yourself questioning right and wrong, and how far a woman should go to protect her family.

—— Cosmopolitan

All I can say is WOW! If you are a fan of the psychological thriller genre, then this needs to go on your 'must get' list... Excellent.

—— @bookkaz

The story is clever, well-paced and well-constructed

—— Irish Independent

The Book of Mirrorsis a very clever and well written novel

—— Reading in Wellies

It keeps you guessing right to the last page and, even afterwards, leaves you wondering how much of what we accept as reality exists only in our own minds

—— Bridport News

I found The Book of Mirrors extremely difficult to put down

—— For Winter Nights blog

An entertaining, clever story, told in an engaging manner that fit the story. I’ll be keen to read more work by EO Chirovici in the future

—— From First Page to Last blo

This is an interesting, well-written book with plenty of layers and depth ... E.O. Chirovici writes really well, and creates a novel which you’ll want to keep reading. It’s different and deliciously deep, drawing you in as you try to unravel the details

—— Snazzy Books

Set for global success

—— Daily Express

This intelligent multi-layered psychological thriller examines human memory, recollection, self-delusion and how memories can be manipulated. If you want to immerse yourself in a compelling ‘whodunit’, this book will not disappoint!

—— Candis

An absorbing thriller

—— Fantastic Fiction blog

I couldn't put it down

This is cerebral crime in the manner of Umberto Echo and Paul Auster ... Readers will be spurred on to keep turning the pages by feeling that the ending will reveal not just what the truth is, but what is Truth

A gripping yarn

—— Sunday Times (Ireland)

There’s so much to like about The Book of Mirrors. The story is clever, well-paced and well-constructed

Even the twists have twists

Chirovici has written a very clever book. The plot twists and turns, backtracks and goes round in circles, so you can never be quite sure where it’s going to go next.

—— Watford Observer

The Book of Mirrors will keep you up until you’ve finished it

—— Metro

Twisty novel full of unexpected developments and untrustworthy characters

—— Sunday Times Culture

Chilling

An intriguing whydunit underpinned by a treatise on memory, as a number of witnesses create a cat’s cradle of conflicting testimony designed to keep the reader guessing to the very end

The Book of Mirrorsengages on a number of levels. Chirovici delights in leading the reader down various blind alleys and keeps us turning the pages
