What knowledge hides in blood?
New secrets arise from the order of Those Unseen in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Hidden Codex HC from Dark Horse Books! Straight from the world of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, this graphic novel, presented in hardcover, follows Viking escapee Edward as he tries to locate his missing brother. This tale of historical adventure is written by Mathieu Gabella and features kinetic art by Paolo Traisci. Discover the mysteries behind the hidden codex!
After securing his own freedom from a clan of Vikings that kidnapped him, Edward, a scribe and reluctant monk, returns to find his brother missing and strange documents blackened by a language he innately understands. No one knows where these occult-looking symbols came from, but Edward has seen such writings before: in the workshop of an enigmatic wise man among the Vikings who is part of a secret order: Those Unseen. An order that could offer answers to Edward, and guarantee his aspirations of freedom and knowledge. But with that knowledge can he find and rescue his own brother before it’s too late?
