To solve the book puzzle in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you will need to place the books in the following order from very left to right: White, Black, Yellow, and Blue.

Let me guess, you thought it was Blue, Yellow, Black, and White because that was the order that best fit Arib’s poem? Well, you’re correct—sort of.

An important detail that can be overlooked here is while the sequence is correct, Arabic is read from right to left. Meaning, you need to reverse the order of the sequence. So, Blue, Yellow, Black, and White, actually reads White, Black, Yellow, and Blue.

It’s a nifty little puzzle that fits in perfectly with Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s setting and theme.
