About the Book
He was the most powerful Sith lord who ever lived.
But could he be the only one who never died?
“Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It’s a Sith
legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so
wise that he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to
create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.”
—Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith
Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived.
Possessing power is all he desires. Losing it is the only thing he
fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. And
when the time is right, he destroys his Master — but vows never to suffer
the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth
Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power... over life and death.
Darth Sidious: Plagueis’s chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his
Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith, while publicly rising
to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as
Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.
Darth Plagueis and Darth
Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination — and the
Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith
tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of
the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?
