Synopsis:
The Sith Empire is in flux.
The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious
Sith lord’s attempt to seize the throne has ended
fatally. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome
Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her
relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of
the galaxy.
But Karrid’s ruthless determination is
more than matched in the steely resolve of Theron Shan,
whose unfinished business with the Empire could change
the course of the war for good. Though the son of a Jedi
master, Theron does not wield the Force—but like his
renowned mother, the spirit of rebellion is in his
blood. As a top covert agent for the Republic, he struck
a crucial blow against the Empire by exposing and
destroying a Sith superweapon arsenal—which makes him
the ideal operative for a daring and dangerous mission
to end Ascendant Spear’s reign of terror.
Joined by
hot-headed smuggler Teff’ith, with whom he has an
inexplicable bond, and wise Jedi warrior Gnost-Dural,
Darth Karrid’s former master, Theron must match wits and
weapons with a battle-tested crew of the most
cold-blooded dark side disciples. But time is brutally
short. And if they don’t seize their one chance to
succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities
to die.
