Repercussions from the
dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the
mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi
continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Having narrowly
escaped the deranged Force worshippers known as the Mind
Walkers, and a deadly Sith hit squad, Luke and Ben
Skywalker are in pursuit of the now Masterless Sith
apprentice Vestara Khai. It is a chase that leads to the
forbidding planet Dathomir, where an enclave of powerful
dark-side Force-wielders will give Vestara the edge she
needs to escape; and where the Skywalkers will be forced
into combat for their quarry and their lives.
Meanwhile, Han and Leia Solo are on their own desperate
mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi from Coruscant
to safe haven in the Transitory Mists and beyond the
grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala.
But the bold maneuver only intensifies Daala's fury, and
she is determined to shatter Jedi Order resistance once
and for all.
Yet, no greater threat exists than that which still
waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: A being
of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls
out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some,
it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to
their survival. For others, it could be the ultimate
weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing
and life-altering encounter of untold magnitude, and a
tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.
