Assassin’s creed: the secret crusade. Oliver Bowden. 2011.

Niccolo Polo, father of Marco, will finally reveal the story he has kept secret all his life - the story of Altair, one of the brotherhood’s most extraordinary assassins.

Altair embarks on a formidable mission - one that takes him throughout the Holy Land and shows him the true meanings of the Assassin’s Creed. To demonstrate his commit, Altair must defeat nine deadly enemies, including the Templar leader, Robert de Sable.

Altair’s life story is told here for the first time; a journey that changes the course of history: his ongoing battle with the Templar conspiracy; a family life that is as tragic as it is shocking; and the ultimate betrayal of an old friend.
