The year is 1765. While the seeds of the American Revolution are being sewn in
Boston and New York, Spanish forces in the South plot to seize control of
Louisiana for the Templars, threatening to forever shift the balance of power in
the New World. As Templars secretly take hold of the slave trade in New Orleans,
Aveline de Grandpré, an assassin of mixed French and African heritage, stands
ready to defend her people. She soon finds herself on an unforgettable journey
that will take her from the crowded streets of New Orleans to voodoo-haunted
swamps and ancient Mayan ruins. Whether eliminating her enemies with new
assassination skills or luring them into cunning traps, Aveline strikes mortal
fear into the hearts of those who would stand against freedom.
