About the Book
The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi
Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But
the Sith have disturbing plans — and none more so than the fulfillment of
Darth Scabrous’s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish
reality.
Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural
Corps — young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff — Hestizo
Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants.
Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is
violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous.
For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the
final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire.
But at the heart of the formula
is a never-before-seen virus that’s worse than fatal — it doesn’t just
kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven
by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living — and commanded by a Sith
Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize:
immortality... no matter the cost.
