NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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.
