I studied French all throughout high school and am an avid fan of female historical figures who rise above the odds and do great things so I know of Jeanne D'arcs story. He increasingly sympathises with his ancestor Gabriel Laxert, and stumbles upon something left behind before the execution of the Templar Grandmaster Jaques de Molay that could shake the foundations of the Order. ![]() As you would know by the blurb, it follows Simon Hathaway, newly inducted into the Templars Inner Sanctum, trying to find the Sword of Eden that was in possession of Jeanne D'arc during the Hundred Year War. The novel is somewhat of a sequel to the modern story of Syndicate (as the protagonist Simon takes the place of Isabellr Ardant who was killed by Shaun Hastings - still want to know if Rebecca made it out ok) and a prequel to the movie (as Alan Rikkin leaves for Madrid in the epilogue) and I feel this was a good choice that allowed the author to maintain a link to canon already established but allowed herself some wriggle room to explore this story. It took me a while to read this although that could more be attributed to my own personal life and priorities, but I will not say that this was a boring or unenjoyable read for me at all! Undeniably an adult novel (not racy, just mature) I feel Heresy was taken in a fresh direction that was sorely needed for the AC books and series as a whole, and would appeal to fans of the games and history.

I was like ( if Joan shines one more time I will kill her myself, and Gabrielle as well for good measure ) the story was dull and empty, nothing was really happening and the ending was so stupid. I expected that I would enjoy this book than the other books because it had a contemporary aspect to it and we are introduced to the Animus which is the core thing in the games. I am so disappointed in this because I love the s WOW. I did not see that coming at all I expected that I would enjoy this book than the other books because it had a contemporary aspect to it and we are introduced to the Animus which is the core thing in the games. What Gabriel will do for the woman he both loves and reveres. And the most dangerous truth of all: Who is the heretic … and who is the true believer?. When he enters the newly-designed Animus for its initial project, Simon finds himself unprepared for what he discovers: How deep the conflict between the Templars and the Assassins goes. But Simon also has an insatiable curiosity, and is fascinated by the thought of experiencing history first-hand through his ancestor-Gabriel Laxart, who fought alongside the legendary Joan of Arc.
