**The future of the dark side hangs in the balance in the stunning
conclusion to the Darth Bane series.
**
Twenty years have passed since the Sith and their endless rivalries were
eradicated and replaced with the Rule of Two. Darth Bane now reigns
alongside his young acolyte, Zannah, who must study and train in the
dark side of the Force until the time comes to strike down her master
and claim the mantle for herself.
But Bane's brutal new regime has one potential fatal flaw--how will
their legacy continue if an apprentice fails to raise their blade in
combat? The only solution must be for the Dark Lord of the Sith to
rediscover a long-forgotten secret of the order--the key to immortality.
Bane's doubt spurs his young apprentice into action, and Zannah vows to
destroy her master at any cost. After he mysteriously vanishes, she
tracks him across the galaxy to a desolate desert outpost, where the
fate of the dark side will be forged by a final fight to the death.
