In the bustling streets of Shanghai, Darius Gift has come unstuck, his head turned by a pretty girl and a stunning smile. His tenuous position as a newly initiated member of the Templar Order is under threat, until he is rescued by the mysterious figure that is Black Cross.

Overall Assassin's Creed: Templar #2 stands on its own rather than because it's part of franchise. The complex writing and stunning artwork make this book rise above other video game tie-ins.
