Assassin’s Creed- Brotherhood is an action/adventure book about a master assassin, Ezio, trying to defeat the Borgia. It is based on the game of the same name, but you don’t need to play the game to understand it. It is best to read the prequal, Assassin's Creed- Rennaissance first to understand all of Ezio’s past and his goals, but Rennaissance isn't as exciting as Brotherhood.
In Assassin's Creed - Rennaissance, Ezio is put into action against a huge conspiracy after an unfortunate series of events. He sets out to defeat the Knights Templar, he ends up travelling all around Italy in search of their leader, Rodrigo Borgia, Rodrigo killls the pope, which is a bit brutal, and then becomes the new pope. This is bad, because the pope represents God, who represents good, and Rodrigo is pure evil.
Anyway, I wont ruin the end of the first book, but some stuff happens and Cesare Borgia ( Cesare Borgia is real, and he was evil, so it's historically correct) attacks Ezios home, and also the town that his family owns, and from then on Ezio chases after the Borgia.
The plot is much more thick than that, with Ezio being friends with Leonardo da Vinci, who makes Ezio a brace with a blade that springs out, Leonardo is also being forced to work with Cesare, which is also historically correct, and awkward, considering that Cesare is Ezio’s worst enemy. A love life with someone who he thinks might be using him, one of his friends thinking that another friend, Niccolo Machiavelli (also real), is working with the Borgia. He doesnt trust his sister to do things properly and to top it all of, he’s nearly 50!!!
