Science Fiction
Based on unproduced episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this new novel features
Asajj Ventress, former Sith apprentice turned bounty hunter and one of the great
antiheroes in the Star Wars galaxy.
The only way to bring down the Sith’s most dangerous warrior may be to join forces with
the dark side. In the war for control of the galaxy between the armies of the dark side and the Republic,
former Jedi Master turned ruthless Sith Lord Count Dooku has grown ever more brutal in
his tactics. Despite the powers of the Jedi and the military prowess of their clone army, the
sheer number of fatalities is taking a terrible toll. And when Dooku orders the massacre of
a flotilla of helpless refugees, the Jedi Council feels it has no choice but to take drastic
action: targeting the man responsible for so many war atrocities, Count Dooku himself.
But the ever-elusive Dooku is dangerous prey for even the most skilled hunter. So the
Council makes the bold decision to bring both sides of the Force’s power to bear—pairing
brash Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos with infamous one-time Sith acolyte Asajj Ventress. Though
Jedi distrust for the cunning killer who once served at Dooku’s side still runs deep,
Ventress’s hatred for her former master runs deeper. She’s more than willing to lend her
copious talents as a bounty hunter—and assassin—to Vos’s quest.
Together, Ventress and Vos are the best hope for eliminating Dooku—as long as the
emerging feelings between them don’t compromise their mission. But Ventress is
determined to have her retribution and at last let go of her dark Sith past. Balancing the
complicated emotions she feels for Vos with the fury of her warrior’s spirit, she resolves to
claim victory on all fronts—a vow that will be mercilessly tested by her deadly enemy . . .
and her own doubt.
