Synopsis

Few moments in history have proven as timelessly fascinating as the lawless Golden Age of Piracy, which was largely played out in the Caribbean of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Blackbeard one of the most fearsome captains to sail the seas in this time of rebellion, fortune, intrigue, and adventure is the latest historical figure to take centre stage in the Assassin's Creed franchise. Thoughtfully crafted to resemble Blackbeard's personal logbook, this illustrated journal delivers a unique insider's view into the world of the game through fascinating entries that provide a firsthand account of the day-to-day lives of the characters. This one-of-a-kind graphic novel featuring beautifully etched illustrations and portraits, wanted posters, detailed ship's logs and maps, newspaper clippings, letters of marque, and more brings the bold world of Blackbeard strikingly to life. This hardback book 148 pages and measures: 26 x 20 x 2cm

"Like [Blackbeard] himself, the book is full of history, tall tale, and full-to-bursting with charm... I really enjoyed the authenticity that Golden put into her work... Even amongst the hyper-glossy higher-production valued art books, there is a great deal of filler or dead space. Not so in this piece. Part art book and part fictional journal, "Blackbeard: The Lost Journal" should be welcome in any collector's pile of treasure."
