The First Blade of Florence

Born into the prestigious Auditore family, Leonardo Auditore is a prodigy of the Assassin Brotherhood. Trained from an early age, he mastered the ways of the Creed before most could even hold a blade. By the time he turned 20, he was already a legend in the shadows, whispered about in Templar circles as La Spada Fantasma-The Phantom Blade.

Leonardo's life takes a devastating turn when betrayal strikes his family. The execution of his father, Giovanni, and two younger brothers forces him to shoulder the responsibility of protecting his remaining siblings. Fleeing Florence with Ezio and Claudia, Leonardo must balance his roles as a mentor, brother, and Assassin while grappling with his own grief and guilt.

In the wake of tragedy, Leonardo trains Ezio in the ways of the Brotherhood, helping his younger brother evolve from a reckless nobleman into a true Assassin. While Ezio's journey toward vengeance begins to take shape, Leonardo embarks on a perilous mission of his own: uncovering the Templar conspiracy behind their family's downfall.

As Leonardo delves deeper into the Templar Order's plans, he discovers a dangerous secret-a lost Isu artifact capable of rewriting history itself. Pursued by an enigmatic and ruthless Templar Grand Master, Leonardo finds himself entangled in a deadly game where every choice could cost him his family, his Creed, or his soul.
