Does a new start for the Galactic Alliance mark the beginning of the
fall of the Jedi Order?
After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the now fallen
Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis. From all corners,
politicians, power brokers, and military leaders converge on Coruscant
for a crucial summit to restore order and determine the future of their
unified worlds. But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the
future of the Jedi.
In a shocking move, Chief of State Natasi Daala orders the arrest of
Luke Skywalker for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's turn to the dark side
and his subsequent reign of terror as a Sith Lord. But it's only the
first blow in an anti-Jedi backlash fueled by a hostile government and
suspicious public. Negotiating his freedom in exchange for his exile
from the Jedi Order, Luke, with his son, Ben, at his side, sets out to
unravel the shocking truth behind Jacen Solo's corruption and downfall.
But the secrets Luke uncovers may bring his quest--and life as he knows
it--to a sudden end. And all the while, another Jedi Knight, consumed by
madness, is headed to Coruscant on a fearsome mission that could
devastate the entire galaxy.
