Science Fiction
Civil war rages as the Galactic Alliance–led by Cal Omas
and the Jedi forces of Luke Skywalker–battles a
confederation of breakaway planets that rally to the side
of rebellious Corellia. Suspected of involvement in an
assassination plot against Queen Mother Tenel Ka of the
Hapes Consortium, Han and Leia Solo are on the run, hunted
by none other than their own son, Jacen, whose increasingly
authoritarian tactics as head of GA security have led Luke
and Mara Skywalker to fear that their nephew may be
treading perilously close to the dark side. But as his family sees in Jacen the chilling legacy of his
Sith grandfather, Darth Vader, many of the frontline troops
adore him, and countless citizens see him as a savior. The
galaxy has been torn apart by too many wars. All Jacen
wants is safety and stability for all–and he’s prepared to
do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. To end the bloodshed and suffering, what sacrifice would be
too great? That is the question tormenting Jacen. Already
he has sacrificed much, embracing the pitiless teachings of
Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith, who has taught him that
a strong will and noble purpose can hold the evil excesses
of the dark side at bay, bringing peace and order to the
galaxy–but at a price. For there is one final test that Jacen must pass before he
can gain the awesome power of a true Sith Lord: He must
bring about the death of someone he values dearly. What
troubles Jacen isn’t whether he has the strength to commit
murder. He has steeled himself for that, and worse if
necessary. No, the question that troubles Jacen is who the
sacrifice should be. As the strands of destiny draw ever more tightly together
in a galaxy-spanning web, the shocking answer will shatter
two families . . . and cast a grim shadow over the future.
