Review
Assassin’s Creed: The Resurrection Plot is the second novel by Kate Heartfield and follow up of the 2022 The Magus Conspiracy that was arguably my favourite Assassin’s Creed tie in to date. It is 1869 in Cario when a bomb goes off at the Khedivial Opera House celebrating the opening of the new Suez Canal. The visiting Assassin Pierrette Arnaud investigates the strange event only to uncover a plot to eradicate free will itself. It is not long before she crosses paths with her old friend and tutor Simeon Price who has arrived in Egypt on the same trail. But they have little time to reminisce about their adventures in London as the Templars manoeuvre Europe and Africa like pieces on a chessboard. Creating havoc on a global scale. While the duo race against time and to stop further attacks they unearth plans suggesting a mysterious tower is the key to the ultimate Templar takeover. And with the puzzling Engine of History in their grasp, The Assassin’s might be outmatched at last!
Wow what a ride this book is. It is almost non-stop and I have to say I read it in two sittings. Only because that pesky thing call work got in the way! I adored Pierrette when we first met her Magus Conspiracy and I can honestly say that The Resurrection Plot has cemented that love. Especially with her growing friendship with Evie Frye(another favourite of mine). Kate Heartfield is one of those authors that I feel it is safe to say you can trust with tie in fiction. She knows the source material and delivers something fans are bound to enjoy. More than that though she pairs the source material with historical references and facts and amazingly developed ‘new’ characters that just make the experience all the more enjoyable. I adored that we finally got the see the Twins in this but more than just seeing them I adored how Evie and Pierrette bond. It was so nice as a female Assassin’s Creed (AC) fan seeing two female Assassin’s not only being epic and amazing but not try to out do each other and rather support each other… But I am digressing.
On top of this the plot line itself is top notch and full of action, intrigue and everything else you would expect from something in the AC universe. I adored seeing Cairo and Egypt in this one and how it was as if we were transported back to that time while reading. A testament once again to Heartfield’s research and writing.
This is really a must for AC fans but also fans of good mysteries/espionage and historical novels are bound to enjoy it as well.

This is another book in the Assassin's Creed universe that I really liked. It is not a sequel but it connects with The Magus Conspiracy that Kate Heartfield has written as well.
This time we start in Cairo in 1869 when a bomb goes of and our assassin Pierrette Arnaud along with her mentor Simeon Price try to stop the Templars again and unearth their plans for takeover.
The book is adventurous, mysterious and fast-paced. It has really good character development and I also really liked the writing.
My only complaint is the many time lapses, especially after a big event or revelation.

Thanks to Orbit and NetGalley for providing the eARC!
As someone who has read previous AC books, this was on point! I especially loved the two POVs.
As always, the tie-in with the video games is amazingly well done; hats off to Kate Heartfield for her adaptation of a great video game. An excellent novel for any Assassin's Creed fan or anyone looking for an action-packed adventure!
