    Summary

    The Arctic, 1847. Dr. Elias Croft is the surgeon aboard HMS Erebus. He has been with the expedition for two years. He has watched the crew grow weaker, sicker, more desperate. The ships have been trapped in the ice for months. The food is running low. The men are dying. Elias does his best to save them, but he knows that he cannot save them all. He thinks about his father, who was an Assassin. He taught Elias the Creed: nothing is true, everything is permitted. He taught him to fight, to hide, and to protect the innocent. Elias has a hidden blade that he keeps in his medical kit. He has never used it. But he keeps it, a reminder that he is not as powerless as he seems.
