The bargain they strike sends her on a dark and magical journey throughout the land. Evangeline desperately prays to the Prince of Hearts, a dangerous and fickle Fate famed for his heart that is waiting to be revived by his one true love-and his potentially lethal kisses. Despite inheriting a steady trust in magic, belief in her late mother’s homeland of the mystical North (where fantastical creatures live), and philosophy of hope for the future, her dreams are dashed when Luc, her love, pledges to marry Marisol instead. When her father passes away, Evangeline is left with her cold stepmother and kind but distant stepsister, Marisol. Readers will be anxious for the second installment, soon to follow.Īfter praying to a Fate for help, Evangeline discovers the dangerous world of magic. The consciously diverse cast includes, in addition to Owen, a Latino, an African-American brother and sister, a Central Asian girl, and a white boy in a wheelchair. The fascinating, free-wheeling blend of science, history, and action-adventure will make this a sure hit, even for those who haven’t played the video games. Amid the fast-paced action and historical drama, they uncover an ancient relic, a Piece of Eden, with tremendous power. That thread of the story proves to be a dead end, left to future installments, but in a simulation that sends Owen and others to New York City during the 1863 draft riots, Owen and companions finds themselves caught in the middle of an ancient rivalry between two factions, the Templar Order and the Assassins Brotherhood. Owen feels his father was framed by friends, and that landed him in prison. He doesn’t believe what his grandparents say about his father: that he had a gambling addiction, robbed a store, shot a guard. For the 15-year-old white boy, this means he might be able to uncover the truth about his father. Monroe, the information technology guy at Owen’s high school, runs an unusual operation: his Animus console allows users to enter simulations to explore genetic memories. The debut of an action-adventure series that ties in with the popular “Assassin’s Creed” video games.
