About the Book
Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has
taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors
dismantle Daala’s draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed
official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi’s new
authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of
Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.
Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side
entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous
quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the
fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth
turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers’ quest
threatens to become a suicide mission.
