After the thrilling events of The High Republic: Convergence, the
Jedi race to confront the Path of the Open Hand and end the Forever
War.
After five years of conflict, the planets Eiram and E'ronoh are on the
cusp of real peace. But when news breaks of a disaster at the treaty
signing on Jedha, violence reignites on the beleaguered worlds.
Together, the royal heirs of both planets--Phan-tu Zenn and Xiri
A'lbaran--working alongside the Jedi, have uncovered evidence that the
conflict is being orchestrated by outside forces, and all signs point to
the mysterious Path of the Open Hand, whom the Jedi also suspect of
causing the disaster on Jedha.
With time--and answers--in short supply, the Jedi must divide their
focus between helping quell the renewed violence on Eiram and E'ronoh
and investigating the Path. Among them is Gella Nattai, who turns to the
one person she believes can unravel the mystery but the last person she
wants to trust: Axel Greylark. The chancellor's son, imprisoned for his
crimes, has always sought to unburden himself of the weight of his
family name. Will he reconcile with the Jedi and aid in their quest for
justice and peace, or embrace the Path's promise of true freedom?
As all roads lead to Dalna, Gella and her allies prepare to take on a
foe unlike any they've ever faced. And it will take all of their trust
in the Force, and in one another, to survive.
