About this ebook

 Before Assassin’s Creed: Origins, there was an Oath

Egypt, 70BC, a merciless killer stalks the land. His mission: to find and destroy the last members of an ancient order, the Medjay – to eradicate the bloodline.

In peaceful Siwa, the town’s protector abruptly departs, leaving his teenage son, Bayek, with questions about his own future and a sense of purpose he knows he must fulfill.

Bayek sets off in search of answers, his journey taking him along the Nile and through an Egypt in turmoil, facing the dangers and the mysteries of the Medjay’s path.

Ratings and reviews

Slight spoiler: I think the story was ruined when the elder Medjay gave away information under pressure. I can't believe a protector that is sworn to uphold centuries of traditions, and protect 'all of Egypt', would turn snitch knowing it wouldnt save his life anyway. And how'd the assassin get to him so easily?!? This author rushed the story at some points and the dialogue is too modern to allow the reader to even think this is ancient egypt. Wont buy another book from this author.

I love the knowledge that this novel gives u before u even play the game. A lot of questions have been answered for me and I fully intend on purchasing more assassins creed books

I enjoyed the story, gave me a nice insight to Bayek's life prior to playing Assassins Creed Origins.
