The Jedi think the dreaded Nihil marauders have been all but defeated.
Their leader is on the run and their numbers have dwindled. Jedi Knight
Vernestra Rwoh hopes this means she will finally have time to really
train her Padawan, Imri Cantaros--but reports of a Nihil attack on Port
Haileap soon dash those hopes. For not only have the Nihil attacked the
peaceful outpost, they have abducted Vernestra and Imri's friend, Avon
Starros. The two Jedi set off for Port Haileap, determined to figure out
where the Nihil have taken their friend. Meanwhile, Avon must put her
smarts and skills to the ultimate test as she fights for survival among
the Nihil--and uncovers a sinister plan. Can Vernestra and Imri find
their friend before disaster strikes?
