Question by eavaheb2003: Does anyone know of a book that deals with ancient assassins (kind of like Assasin’s Creed but a book)?
I was wondering if anyone knew good books about assassins that deals with more old school knife assassinations? If possible, does anyone know of books that have assassins in ancient times that kill for a certain purpose that is a mystery and thriller?
