Девятый век. Нравы у народов Скандинавии просты и суровы, под стать северной природе. Набеги на богатые земли — вполне достойное занятие, воспеваемое скальдами, и мальчишки мечтают повторить разбойничьи «подвиги» отцов и дедов. Сын конунга Хьёра, семнадцатилетний Гейрмунн, прозванный Адской Шкурой за смуглую кожу, тоже мечтает о добыче и славе. На родине его ждет участь младшего сына – быть на вторых ролях. И когда в доме его отца появляется датский ярл, зовущий Хьёра на завоевание Англии, юноша усматривает в этом свой шанс. Но как быть с тем, что кузнец Вёлунд из подводного царства, а затем и вёльва-предсказательница предрекли ему…

Born into a royal lineage of Norwegian kings, Geirmund Hel-hide sets out for adventure to prove his worth as a Viking and a warrior. A perilous journey across the sea brings him into contact with a being out of myth and grants him a mysterious ring that promises both great power and bitter betrayal. As Geirmund rises in the ranks of King Guthrum's legendary army, he will have to use all his cunning to face the many dangers of a land ravaged by war . . .

Более тысячи лет назад датский воин Стирбьорн Храбрый возглавлял поход против короля Харальда Синезубого. Именно поля сражений викингов хранят тайну местонахождения зубца преданности — последней части могущественного артефакта, известного как Трезубец Эдема. Два других зубца, страха и веры, уже в руках тамплиера-отступника Исайи, и если он соберет все части Трезубца, то станет непобедимым. Временное хрупкое перемирие между ассасинами и тамплиерами заключено, но будет ли этого достаточно, чтобы опередить врага? В любом случае действия Оуэна, Хавьера и остальных членов невероятного союза подростков навсегда изменят мир вечных противников...

Owen, Javier and the rest of the Last Descendants teens uncover their destiny in this epic third book in the trilogy based on the hit Ubisoft videogame. The stunning conclusion to the Last Descendants Trilogy! Only one piece of the Trident of Eden remains. Isaiah, a rogue Templar agent, has discovered both the faith prong and the fear prong of this powerful relic. Should he possess the devotion prong, there is little that can stop him. For the time being, Owen and his fellow teens have established an uneasy alliance across Assassin and Templar lines in order to stop Isaiah while they still can. Over a thousand years earlier, Styrbjorn the Strong, a Danish warrior, leads the Jomsvikings against the Danish king, Harald Bluetooth. It is on those Viking battlefields that the secrets of the devotion prong lie. It is there that the fate of the world, the truth behind the teens' collective unconsciousness and their ancestral links to one another lie. History has already been written. The rest is up to Owen, Javier and the other members of their unlikely alliance. The actions they take will change the world of Assassin's Creed forever.

In "Last Descendants," Owen and a group of other teens located the first piece of an ancient and powerful relic long considered a legend-the Trident of Eden. This piece was sought by the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order, but before either organization could take the piece, it was stolen by an unknown, third party. The tenuous relationship between Owen and the teens fractured, with some taking sides with the Templars, and others with the Assassins. "Last Descendants" book 2 picks up weeks after the events of book 1. There are still two pieces of the Trident of Eden to find, and both groups are determined to not repeat their mistakes. The next piece is said to have been buried with Mongol Warlord Genghis Khan, whose tomb has never been found. Now the teens on either side of the conflict will have to go deep into simulations in war-torn Mongolian China in a race against time to discover the next piece, and ensure their safety, before the others.

Nothing in Owen's life has been right since his father died in prison, accused of a crime Owen is certain he didn't commit. Monroe, the IT guy at school, might finally bring Owen the means to clear his father's name by letting him use an Animus-a device that lets users explore genetic memories buried within their own DNA. During a simulation, Owen uncovers the existence of a powerful relic long considered a legend-the Trident of Eden. Now two secret organizations will stop at nothing to take possession of this artifact-the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. It becomes clear the only way to save himself is to find the Trident first. Under the guidance of Monroe, Owen and a group of other teenagers go into a memory they all share within their DNA: the 1863 Draft Riots in New York City. Owen and his companions will find themselves tested on the violent streets of New York, and their experiences in the past will have far-reaching consequences in the present.

Оуэн и его друзья опоздали. Им удалось совершить невозможное, но они все равно проиграли. Когда они обнаружили первую часть древней и могущественной реликвии, долгое время считавшейся легендой, - Трезубца Эдема – казалось, мало что может их остановить. Частицу искали и Братство ассассинов и Орден тамплиеров, но ее украла неизвестная третья сила прежде, чем ей смогла завладеть одна из сторон. И без того хрупкие отношения подростков рушатся – Оуэн и его друг Хавьер принимают сторону ассассинов, остальные – тамплиеров. И все же, надо найти еще две частицы Трезубца Эдема, и обе группы настроены не повторить своих ошибок. Предполагается, что…
