Roma, 1503. Torna Ezio Auditore, l'eroe solitario che in Assassin's Creed - Rinascimento ha raccolto l'eredità del Credo degli Assassini per battersi contro il malvagio Ordine dei Templari, controllato dalle famiglie dei Borgia e dei Pazzi. Dopo l'incontro nella Cripta, Ezio ha abbandonato alla sua sorte il capo dell'Ordine, papa Alessandro VI, credendolo destinato a morte certa. Il pontefice, però, non solo è sopravvissuto, ma ha anche passato il testimone ai figli Cesare e Lucrezia: un avido condottiero e un'avvelenatrice. E ora Cesare sta trascinando Roma alla rovina. Solo Ezio può fermarlo.

"Anne Neville and her sister Isabel are daughters of the most powerful magnate in 15th century England, the Earl of Warwick, the 'Kingmaker', born with royal blood in their veins. Widowed at fourteen, fatherless, stripped of her inheritance and with her mother locked in sanctuary and Isabel a vengeful enemy, Anne faces the world alone. But fortune's wheel is always turning. Plotting her escape from her sister's house, she finds herself a husband in the handsome young Duke of Gloucester, and marries without permission. Danger follows her and she finds she has a mortal enemy in the most beautiful queen of England. Anne must protect herself and her precious son, from the treacherous royal court, her deadly royal rival, and even from the driving ambition of her husband, Richard III"--P. [4] of cover.

Píše sa rok 1539 a kráľ Henrich VIII. sa znova žení. Tentoraz sa jeho manželkou stane Anna z Cleves, ktorú si vybral podľa portrétu. V manželstve im to od začiatku škrípe a z Anny sa stáva iba šachovnicová figúrka v manželovom boji proti rímskokatolíckej cirkvi. Nová kráľovná cíti, že sa okolo nej zviera pasca. V kráľovstve čoraz tyranskejšieho Henricha VIII. vládne neistota a intrigy. Karty miešajú Annine dvorné dámy Jane Boleynová a Katarína Howardová. V hre sú osudy troch žien a dve skončia na popravisku.

Edge of Danger was "hugely entertaining," said the Los Angeles Times. "The publisher describes it as a powerful thriller, and it's no lie." At its end, the murderous Arab/English Rashid family lay decimated- but not extinct. And that may have been Sean Dillon's fatal error. After her brothers are killed one by one, Kate Rashid swears vengeance on all who have harmed her family. Never mind that they tried to assassinate the President of the United States or that villainy ran in their veins. They were her brothers, and her enemies would pay. British agent Sean Dillon . . . White House operative Blake Johnson . . . and the President himself. . . . Their time was coming, and only she knew how-or when.Masterfully suspenseful, Midnight Runner is further proof that, in the words of the Associated Press, "when it comes to thriller writers, one name stands well above the crowd-Jack Higgins."
