Une guerre sans fin. Un tort ancien. Une nouvelle révélation. Nouvellement promu à la tête de la division historique d'Abstergo, Simon Hathaway est le modèle même du scientifique réservé et impassible. Mais il cache également une curiosité insatiable et rêve de découvrir l'Histoire à travers les yeux de son ancêtre Gabriel Laxart, compagnon de bataille de la légendaire Jeanne d'Arc. Sa plongée dans l'Animus va l'obliger à affronter une réalité inattendue : un conflit entre Assassins et Templiers à la violence inouïe et aux origines plus complexes qu'il n'y paraît, et un aïeul prêt à commettre toutes les folies pour la femme qu'il aime. Alors que la vérité se dévoile peu à peu, une question s'impose : Qui est l'hérétique... et qui est le véritable croyant ?
