The Birth of a Literary Odyssey

Based on the critically acclaimed video game of the same name, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey ventured into uncharted waters when Ubisoft decided to expand the franchise's storytelling potential through the written word. Gordon Doherty, a seasoned novelist and master of historical fiction, was entrusted with the formidable task of crafting a narrative that would resonate with both avid gamers and literary enthusiasts.

Doherty's meticulous research and passion for ancient Greece permeate every page of the novel.

Kassandra and Alexios: Unstoppable Warriors

At the heart of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey lies an unforgettable cast of characters, led by the enigmatic siblings Kassandra and Alexios. Kassandra, the canonical protagonist, emerges as a formidable warrior, her skills honed through years of relentless training. Her intelligence and determination drive her on a quest for vengeance, propelling the story forward with an unstoppable force.

Alexios, the playable male protagonist, mirrors Kassandra's unwavering resolve and combat prowess. His journey is equally fraught with danger and intrigue, as he navigates the treacherous waters of ancient Greece, seeking answers to his own enigmatic past.

The Cult of Kosmos: A Shadowy Threat

Lurking in the shadows of ancient Greece, a sinister organization known as the Cult of Kosmos threatens to consume all in their path. This enigmatic cult, led by the elusive Ghost of Kosmos, operates from the darkness, manipulating events and orchestrating chaos. Their goal: to reshape the world according to their twisted ideology.

Kassandra and Alexios find themselves entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Cult of Kosmos. As they delve deeper into the organization's machinations, they uncover a web of deception, betrayal, and ancient secrets that could destroy everything they hold dear.

The Hidden Blade: A Symbol of Revenge

At the heart of Assassin's Creed mythology lies the iconic Hidden Blade, a lethal weapon concealed within the wrist of the protagonist. In the novel, the blade serves as a potent symbol of revenge, justice, and the indomitable spirit of the Assassins.

As Kassandra or Alexios wields the Hidden Blade, they become instruments of retribution, exacting vengeance upon those who have wronged them. Each kill is a calculated move, a step closer to unraveling the mysteries that surround them and restoring balance to the world.

Greece in All Its Glory and Brutality

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey's setting is as captivating as its characters. Ancient Greece comes alive in Doherty's vivid descriptions, from the bustling streets of Athens to the serene shores of the Aegean Sea. Readers are transported to a world of breathtaking beauty and brutal reality.

Doherty expertly captures both the splendor and the savagery of this ancient civilization. The novel's pages are filled with vibrant descriptions of festivals, feasts, and philosophical debates.
