Anastasia Romanov

The youngest daughter of the last Tsar survived the Yekaterinburg cellar because she was holding the Precursor Box when the Templar execution squad fired — and the artifact answered by pouring Shao Jun's recorded self into her: a Ming Assassin's reflexes, memories and nightmares in a teenage aristocrat's body. Hunted by Templars for the box and by Bolsheviks for her name, and finally by the Assassins for what her mind contained, she crossed a collapsing empire beside Nikolai Orelov, learning to wield a dead Mentor's skills as her own.
