The New Jedi Order continues as Jaina Solo struggles with anger and
despair after the Jedi Knights' harrowing adventure behind enemy
lines.
Though the Jedi strike force completed its deadly mission into Yuuzhan
Vong territory, the price of success was tragedy: not everyone made it
out alive. In a daring getaway, hotshot pilot Jaina Solo stole an enemy
ship, taking along her fellow survivors--and leaving behind a huge piece
of her heart.
With the enemy in hot pursuit, Jaina is forced to seek haven in the
unprotected, unfriendly Hapes Cluster, where the Jedi are held
responsible for a past tragedy--and where the royal family has grim
plans for their famous Jedi guest. Even more sinister are the intentions
of the Yuuzhan Vong, desperate to capture Jaina for a hideous sacrifice.
Grief-stricken and obsessed with revenge, Jaina is blind to these
threats--and to the overpowering evil dangerously close to consuming
her. In the coming conflagration, Jaina will be fighting not for victory
or vengeance, but for her very being.
