NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The heroes of the High Republic era
return to face a shattered peace and a fearsome foe, following the
dramatic events of Light of the Jedi.
In the wake of the hyperspace disaster and the heroism of the Jedi, the
Republic continues to grow, bringing more worlds together under a single
unified banner. Under the leadership of Chancellor Lina Soh, the spirit
of unity extends throughout the galaxy, with the Jedi and the newly
established Starlight Beacon station at the vanguard.
In celebration, the chancellor plans the Republic Fair, a showcase of
the possibilities and the peace of the expanding Republic--a peace the
Jedi hope to foster. Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann, and others
join the event as ambassadors of harmony. But as the eyes of the galaxy
turn toward the fair, so too does the fury of the Nihil. Their leader,
Marchion Ro, is intent on destroying this unity. His storm descends on
the pageantry and celebration, sowing chaos and exacting revenge.
As the Jedi struggle to curb the carnage of the rampaging Nihil, they
come face-to-face with the true fear their enemy plans to unleash across
the galaxy--the kind of fear from which even the Force cannot shield
them.
