Description
After a ruthless competitor beats her in a race to recover a priceless antiquity in Sri Lanka, Lara Croft returns home to London. Nursing her bruises, she gets a call from an old friend in desperate need of help and learns that something truly strange has been discovered during an excavation beneath the City of London. Investigating, Lara witnesses something so spectacular it could rewrite the history of the British Isles - and perhaps even the world - but is drawn into a dangerous shadow world of espionage, conspiracy and black market trafficking. There’s too much at stake. Lara sets off on a globe-trotting mission to recover a precious antiquity that links the modern world to ancient myths and legends, as old foes and new threats gather to stop her finding the truth. What is the true secret of the blade, who can she really trust, and is this the one mission even she can’t survive?
Storyline written in conjunction with the game developers at Crystal Dynamics, and penned by Dan Abnett, a bestselling British novelist and comic book writer.

I think it was a solid (Lara Croft like) story. The editing was awful, though, and the switch of povs was absolutely not evident. But other than that, I liked the depiction of Lara and Carter, but their dynamics could have been a bit more 'friends' like. Ofttimes, Lara seemed to be a bit too arrogant, also towards Carter and I wished Carter would've had a more active part in the story. The villain was pretty flat as a character, as it is often the case. However, a solid story that gave me Tomb Raider vibes which I really enjoyed.
