The New York Times bestselling Star Wars series The New Jedi Order enthralls with its spic drama and thrilling adventure.  Now readers will pierce the very heart of darkness...

It is a solumn time for the New Republic, as the merciless Yuuzhan Vong continue their campaign of destruction.  The brutal enemy has unleashed a savage creature capable of finding - and killing - Jedi Knights.  Now Leia Organa Solo faces a terrible ultimatum.  If the location of the secret Jedi base is not revealed within one week, the Yuuzhan Vong will blast millions of refugee ships into oblivion.

As the battered but still unbroken Jedi scramble to deal with the newest onslaught, Leia's son Anakin lays out a daring plan.  He will lead a Jedi strike force into the heart of enemy territory in order to sabotage the Yuuzhan Vong's deadliest weapons.  There, with his brother and sister at his side, he will come face-to-face with his destiny - as the New REpublic, still fighting the good fight, will come face-to-fave with theirs...

The New Jedi Order continues as Jaina Solo struggles with anger and despair after the Jedi Knights' harrowing adventure behind enemy lines.

Though the Jedi strike force completed its deadly mission into Yuuzhan Vong territory, the price of success was tragedy: not everyone made it out alive.  In a daring getaway, hotshot pilot Jaina Solo stole an enemy ship, taking along her fellow survivors - and leaving behind a huge piece of her heart.

With the enemy in hot pursuit, Jaina is forced to seek haven in the unprotected, unfriendly Hapes Cluster, where the Jedi are held responsible for a past tragedy - and where the royal family has grim plans for their famous Jedi guest.  Even more sinister are the intentions of the Yuuzhan Vong, desperate to capture Jaina for a hideous sacrifice.

Grief-stricken and obsessed with revenge, Jaina is blind to these threats - and to the overpowering evil dangerously close to consuming her.  In the coming conflagration, Jaina will be fighting not for victory or vengeance, but for her very being....

As the Yuuzhan Vong's devastating conquests continue unchecked, Luke Skywalker, Han and Leia Solo, and Wedge Antilles are forces to destroy what they have risked their lives to create...

Scattering after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Coruscant, the panic-stricken members of the New Republic Advisory Coucil pause just long enough to set up a mock defense on nearby Borleias - an attempt to buy some time that fools no one, least of all the Jedi.

Leia and Han Solo travel from world to world to foment rebellion against the New Republic's disastrous appeasement policies.  But Luke Skywalker has chosen the most dangerous assignment of all: to sneak into the Yuuzhan Vong's stronghold on Coruscant.  His outrageous scheme to gain entry is either brilliant or suicidal, depending on the outcome.  Bearing down swifty on Borleias is a Yuuzhan Vong invasion fleet, determined to destroy the galaxy's remaining defenders....

Not since Emperor Palpatine have the Jedi battled such monstrous evil.  Unless they succeed against staggering odds, the galaxy is doomed.

Luke Skywalker's daring mission to halt the Yuuzhan Vong's nefarious plot to overthrow the New Republic is struggling on all fronts.  And time is slipping away for Han and Leia Organa Solo, trapped on a small planet whose rulers are about to yeild to Yuuzhan Vong pressure to give up the Jedi rebels.

On coruscant, Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker have made a shocking discovery that is preventing the Yuuzhan Vong from exerting complete control.  But when the enemy tracks them down, Luke and Mara are thrust into a fierce battle for their lives.  Suddenly, the chances of escaping appear nearly impossible.  And in space, another battle rages, one that hold ominous consequences for the New Republic - and for the Jedi itself....

From the depths of catastrophe, a glimmer of hope

After the capture of Coruscant, the mighty heart of the New Republic, a stunned galaxy fears that nothing can stop the Yuuzhan Vong.  Still, that crushing defeat produces one small miracle: Jacen Solo is alive.  Yet he can scarcely imagine himself in stranger circumstances.

The young Jedi Knight is in the care of Vergere, a fascinating creature of mystery and power, her intentions hard to fathom, her cruelties rarely concealed.  But this master of inscrutable arts has much to teach the young Jedi... for she holds the key to a new way to experience the Force, to take it to another level - dangerous, dazzling, perhaps deadly.

In the wrong hands, the tremendous energies of the Force can be devastating.  And there are others watching Jacen's progress closely, waiting patiently for the moment when he will be ready for their own dire purposes.  Now, all is in shadows.  Yet whatever happens, whether Jacen's newfound mastery unleashes light or darkness, he will never be the same Jedi again....

The time of reckoning is close at hand, as the heroes of the New Republic prepare for their most volatile clash yet with the enemy - from without and within....

In the war against the ruthless Yuuzhan Vong, the fall of Coruscant leaves the galaxy on the verge of bowing to conquest.  Those who steadfastly refuse to consider surrender - Luke, Han, Leia, and their children and comrades-in-arms - are determined to seize victory against overwhelming odds.  But the New Republic is crumbling, divided my internal strife, and intrigue runs rampant: in the heated political race for Chief of State... in the shadows where Yuuzhan Vong spies plot assassinations... and in the inscrutable creature Vergere, a Jedi whose allegiance is impossible to predict.

Now, as Luke Skywalker sets about reestablishing the Jedi Council, the growing faction opposed to the ways of the Force unveils a terrifying weapon designed to annihilate the Yuuzhan Vong species.  The opposition must be stopped, before dooming the New Republic to becoming the very thing it has sworn to fight against - and unleashing the power of the dark side.

As the bloodied and weary galaxy faces battle once more, the Jedi take on the formidable task of bringing the last of the Empire into the light....

From the ashes of the New Republic - torn to shreds by the savage Yuuzhan Vong forces - the newly formed Galactic Alliance has risen, determined to bring peace to the entire galaxy.  But first the Yuuzhan Vong must be contained once and for all.  And so Luke Skywalker seeks a world long lost to legend: Zonama Sekot, a sentient planet believed to have repelled an invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong decades ago.  Deciphering the enigmatic secrets of Zonama Sekot just might turn the tide of this relentless war.

Aboard the Jade Shadow, Luke, his wife Mara, Jacen Solo, and other Jedi head off into the Unknown Regions, where rumors and clues suggest Zonama Sekot might be found.  Yet the mission has barely begun when the searchers stuble into a horrific battle.  The Imperial Remnant, in retreat from the mighty Yuuzhan Vong, is about to be destroyed.  It would seem those aboard the Jade Shadow have little choice but to leave the Empire to its fate.  But these are no ordinary space travelors, they are Jedi....

Swift and deadly, the Yuuzhan Vong have blasted their way across the galaxy - and now stand on the threshold of total victory.  Yet a courageous few still dare to oppose them....

Rife with hostile cultures and outright enemies, the Unknown Regions hold many perils for Luke Skywalker and the Jedi searching for Zonama Sekot, the living planet that may hold the key to dealing with the Yuuzhan Vong once and for all.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the galaxy and in the heart of a trusted ally, an old enemies are stirring.  The Yuuzhan Vong have inflamed long-forgotten vendettas that are even now building up to a crisis point.  And as Han and Leia journey on their quest to knit the unraveling galaxy back together, betrayal and deception await them....

The Jedi move one step closer to saving the embattled galaxy - only to confront a formidable wall of resistance....

The harrowing search for Zonama Sekot is finally over for Luke Skywalker, Jacen Solo, and the others aboard the Jade Shadow.  But joy turns to alarm when the living planet sends a defiant message: it refuses to follow them back to a galaxy full of war, exploitation, and misery.

While Luke works feverishly to persuade the elusive planet to reconsider, the Yuuzhan Vong launch a full-scale attack aimed at the heart of the new alliance.  Sent to defend a major communications base, Han and Leia find themselves hopelessly outnumbered.  Reinforcements are just too far away to help before everything is destroyed.  So the courageous pair must now fight an unrelenting battle against staggering odds.  Whether they actually survive is another matter....

As a beleaguered galaxy fights its way back from the brink of destruction, the Jedis' most fearsome enemy plots to end the war - and claim victory - with a final act of domination....

The troubles for the embattled living planet Zonama Sekot have just begun.  As Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo negotiate its place in the galactic struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, one of its organic ships it taken by the alien invaders.  Scientist Nen Yim is ordered to use the captive to find weak spots in Zonama Sekot's technology.  But what Nen Yim discovers about the planet and its mysteries shocks her to the core.  Clearly her people have gone terribly astray.  For the peace-loving planet harbors not only the key to its own destruction, but the long-forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong themselves.

Meanwhile, General Wedge Antilles, commanding one fleet in a three-pronged campaign to retake the Bilbringi system, is suddenly stranded deep in Yuuzhan Vong space, cut off from all contact.  Wedge and his ships must rely on trickery and brilliant battle tactics if they are to survive long enough to ensure the success of one of the deadliest and most crucial missions the Galactic Alliance forces have ever undertaken....

In the spectacular finale of the New Jedi Order series, Luke, Han, and Leia rally for their last stand against the enemy that threatens not only the galaxy but the Force itself.

Includes a bonus interview on the creation of The New Jedi Order!

The Galactic Alliance's hard-won success in countering the Yuushan Vong onslaught has proven all too brief - and the tide has turned once more to the invaders' advantage.  The marauding aliens have pushed deeper into the galaxy in their ruthless quest for domination.  The remnants of the resistance are struggling to form a united front.  Clearly the stage is set for endgame.

Now, as Luke and his team try desperately to convince the living world of Zonama Sekot to join the Jedi's final campaign against the Yuuzhan Vong, a lone space station is all that stands in between Alliance headquarters and ferocious enemy forces, which are poised to wage their most decisive assault.  For both sides, too much has been sacrificed - and too much is at stake - to ever turn back.  And now nothing can stand in the way of seizing victory... or facing annihilation.

After triumphing in Star Wars: The Unifying Force, the heroes of the New Jedi Order return in a dazzling new adventure!

Luke Skywalker is worried: A handful of Jedi Knights, including his nephew and niece, Jaina and Jacen Solo, have disappeared into the Unknown Regions in response to a strange cry for help that only they could hear. Now the alien Chiss have angrily lodged a formal complaint, accusing the missing Jedi of meddling in a border dispute between the Chiss and an unidentified aggressor.

Luke has no choice but to head to the Unknown Regions for serious damage control. Han and Leia follow, intent on protecting their children from what could be grave danger. But none of them are prepared for what they find when they reach their destination.

A colony of mysterious aliens is expanding toward the edge of Chiss space. The leader of the alien nest is resolute. Adept in the Force, he is drawing old friends to his side, compelling them to join the colony and meld their Force-abilities with his, even if it leads to all-out war....

Two thrilling short stories featuring Darth Vader - by bestselling Star Wars author Karen Traviss

Honor and duty collide with friendship and blood ties as the Skywalker and Solo clans find themselves on opposite sides of an explosive conflict.

When a mission to uncover an illegal missile factory on the planet Adumar ends in a violent ambush - from which Jedi Knight Jacen Solo and his protégé and cousin, Ben Skywalker, narrowly escape with their lives - it's the most alarming evidence yet that political unrest is threatening to ignite into total rebellion.  The specter of full-scale war looms between a growing cadre of defiant planets and the Gallactic Alliance that some fear is becomming a new Empire.

Determined to root out those behind the mayhem, Jacen follows a trail of cryptic clues to a rendezvous with the most shocking of revelations.  Meanwhile Luke grapples with something even more troubling: dream visions of a shadowy figure whose Force power anf ruthlessness remind him of Darth Vader.  If Luke's visions come to pass, they will bring untold pain to the Jedi Master... and to the galaxy.

A new era of exciting adventures and shocking revelations continues to unfold, as the legendary Star Wars saga sweeps forward into astonishing new territory.

Civil war looms as the fledgling Galactic Alliance confronts a growing number of rebellious worlds - and the approaching war is tearing the Skywalker and Solo families apart.  Han and Leia return to Han's home-world, Corellia, the heart of the resistance.  Their children, Jacen and Jaina, are soldiers in the Galactic Alliance's campaign to crush the insurgents.

Jacen, now a complete master of the Force, has his own plans to bring order to the galaxy.  Guided by his Sith mentor, Lumiya, and with Luke's young son Ben at his side, Jacen embarks on the same path that his grandfather Darth Vader once did.  And while Han and Leia watch their only son become a stranger, a secret assassin entangles the couple with a dreaded name from Han's past: Boba Fett.  In the new galactic order, friends and enemies are no longer what they seem....

Forty years after the Battle of Yavin, a dangerous new era of the Star Wars epic begins - the revelations are shocking, the stakes are desperate, the enemy everywhere.

As civil war threatens the unity of the Galactic Alliance, Han and Leia Solo have enraged their families and the Jedi by joining the Corellian insurgents.  But the Solos draw the line when they discover the rebels' plot to make the Hapan Consortium an ally - which rests upon Hapan nobles murdering their pro-Alliance queen and her daughter.

Yet the Solos' selfless determination to save the queen cannot dispel the inescapable consequences of their actions that will pit mother against son and brother against sister in the battles ahead.  For as Jacen Solo's dark powers grow stronger under the Dark Jedi Lumiya, and his influence over Ben Skywalker becomes more isidious, Luke's concern for his nephew forces him into a life-and-death struggle against his fiercest foe, and Han and Leia Solo find themselves at the mercy of their deadliest enemy... their son.

In the Star Wars galaxy, evil is on the move as the Galactic Alliance and Jedi order battle forces seen and unseen, from rampant internal treachery to the nightmare of all-out war.



With each victory against the Corellian rebels, Jacen Solo becomes more admired, more powerful, and more certain of achieving galactic peace.  But that peace may come with a price.  Despite strained relationships caused by opposing sympathies in the war, Han and Leia Solo and Luke and Mara Skywalker remain united by one frightening suspicion: Someone insidious is manipulating this war, and if he or she isn't stopped, all efforts at reconciliation may be for naught.  And as sinister visions lead Luke to believe that the source of the evil is non other than Lumiya, Dark Lady of the Sith, the greatest peril revolves around Jacen himself.

Also includes the novella "Star Wars: Boba Fett: A Practical Man"



To bring peace and order to a galaxy at war, Jacen Solo will sacrifice anything - or anyone.  Now the moment of choice is at hand.



Suspected of treason, Han and Leia Solo are on the run, hunted by none other than their own son, Jacen.  But though his family sees in Jacen the chilling legacy of his Sith grandfather, Darth Vader, many of the frontline troops adore him, and countess citizens see him as a savior in a galaxy torn apart by too many wars.  All Jacen wants is safety and stability for all - and he's prepared to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal... even if it mean embracing the teachings of Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith.  But there is one final test that Jacen must pass before he can gain the awesome power of a true Sith Lord: He must bring about the death of someone he values dearly.  What troubles Jacen isn't whether he has the strength to commit murder, but who the sacrifice should be.

Luke Skywalker wanted to unify the Jedi Order and bring peace to the universe.  Instead his wife, Mara, lies dead at the hands of an unknown assassin, his wayward nephew Jacen has seized control of the Galactic Alliance, and the galaxy has exploded in all-out civil war.

With Luke consumed by grief, Jacen Solo works quickly to consolidate his power and jumpstart his plan to take over the Jedi.  Convinces he's the only one who can save the galaxy, Jacen will do whatever it takes, even ambush his own parents.

With the Rebel confederacy driving deep into the Core to attack Coruscant and the Jedi under seige, Luke must reassert his position.  Only he can lead the Jedi through this crisis, but it means solving the toughest problem Luke's ever faced.  Does he fight alongside his nephew Jacen, a tyrant who's taken over the GA, or does he join the rebels to smash the Galactic Alliance he helped create?

Includes a bonus interview on the creation of the Legacy of the Force!

Fighting alongside the Corellian rebels, Han and Leia are locked in a war against their son Jacen, who grows more powerful and more dangerous with each passing day.  Nothing can stop Jacen's determination to bring peace with a glorious Galactic Alliance victory - whatever the price.

While Luke grieves the loss of his beloved wife and deals with his guilt over killing the wrong person in retaliation, Jaina, Jag, and Zekk hunt for the real assassin, unaware that the culprit commands Sith powers that can cloud their minds and misdirect their attacks - and even turn them back on themselves.

As Luke and Ben Skywalker struggle to find their place among the chaos, Jacen, shunned by friends and family, launches an invasion to rescue to only person still loyal to him.  But with the battle raging on, and the galaxy growing more turbulent and riotous, there's no question that it is Jacen who is most wanted: dead or alive.

During this savage civil war, all efforts to end Jacen Solo’s tyranny of the Galactic Alliance have failed. Now with Jacen approaching the height of his dark powers, no one – not even the Solos and the Skywalkers – knows if anything can stop the Sith Lord before his plan to save the galaxy ends up destroying it.

Jacen Solo’s shadow of influence has threatened many, especially those closest to him. Jaina Solo is determined to bring her brother in, but in order to track him down, she must first learn unfamiliar skills from a man she finds ruthless, repellent, and dangerous. Meanwhile, Ben Skywalker, still haunted by suspicions that Jacen killed his mother, Mara, decides he must know the truth, even if it costs him his life. And as Luke Skywalker contemplates once unthinkable strategies to dethrone his nephew, the hour of reckoning for those on both sides draws near. The galaxy becomes a battlefield where all must face their true nature and darkest secrets, and live – or die – with the consequences.

Climb aboard, buckle up, and prepare to jump to hyperspace for a dazzling adventure aboard the ship that launched a thousand fates.

Two years have passed since the death of the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus - once known as Jacen Solo. The galaxy is slowly healing from civil war, while Jacen’s family and friends are left to mourn his loss alone. For Han and Leia, still grieving for their son, the only bright spot is Jacen’s daughter, Allana, who has been given into their care. Now Allana introduces new adventure into her grandparents’ lives when she discovers a strange device hidden aboard the Millennium Falcon - a discovery that sparks a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the famous spaceship. But the Solos are not alone in their quest: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike will race to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to find - and pay any cost to possess.

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.

The Galactic Alliance is reeling from civil war, the Jedi are in crisis, and the Sith are on the rise.

Jacen Solo’s shocking transformation into murderous Sith Lord Darth Caedus has cast a pall over those who wield the Force for good: Two Jedi Knights have succumbed to an inexplicable and dangerous psychosis, criminal charges have driven Luke Skywalker into self-imposed exile, and power-hungry Chief of State Natasi Daala is exploiting anti-Jedi sentiment to undermine the Order’s influence within the Galactic Alliance.

But an even greater threat is looming. Millennia in the past, a Sith starship crashed on an unknown low-tech planet, leaving the survivors stranded. Over the generations, their numbers have grown, the ways of the dark side have been nurtured, and the time is fast approaching when this lost tribe of Sith will once more take to the stars to reclaim their legendary destiny as rulers of the galaxy. Only one thing stands in their way, a name whispered to them through the Force: Skywalker.

Peace is the way of the Jedi. But with deadly enemies on every side, war may be the only way out.

On Coruscant, an epidemic of madness is preying on the ranks of the Jedi Order - driving the Galactic Alliance to martial actions.  As Han and Leia Solo, along with their daughter, Jaina, join the fight to protect more stricken Knights from arrest, Jedi healers race to find a cure for the rapidly spreading affliction.

Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker continues his quest to find the reasons behind Jacen Solo’s dark downfall and to win redemption for the Jedi Order - a journey that draws Luke and his son, Ben, to the forbidden reaches of the Maw Cluster. There dwell the Mind Walkers: those whose power to transcend their bodies and be one with the Force is as seductive as it is potentially fatal. As Luke and Ben push their Force abilities beyond known limits, they draw closer to a nexus of dark-side energy unprecedented in its power, and to an explosive confrontation from which only one Master - good or evil - can emerge alive.

Locked in a war of wills and weapons, the Jedi Order and the Galactic Alliance must come to terms - before the Sith's army of darkness enacts revenge.

Repercussions from the dark side’s fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak galaxywide havoc. Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now Masterless Sith apprentice - a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir, where the Skywalkers will be forced into combat for their quarry and their lives. Meanwhile, Han and Leia have completed their own desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi to safe haven beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. Yet no greater threat exists than Abeloth, a being of ravenous dark-side energy who calls out to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of answers for survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing encounter of untold magnitude with unimaginable consequences.

Only one thing could unite the forces of Jedi and Sith: an enemy far deadlier than both.

What began as a quest for truth has become a struggle for survival for Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben. They have used the secrets of the Mind Walkers to speak with the spirits of the fallen, risking their lives in the process. They have faced a team of Sith assassins and beaten the odds to destroy them. And now the death squad’s sole survivor, Sith apprentice Vestara Khai, has summoned an entire fleet of Sith frigates to engage the embattled father and son. But the dark warriors come bearing a surprising proposition that will bring Jedi and Sith together in an unprecedented alliance against an adversary more ancient and alien than they can imagine. For in the treacherous web of black holes that is the Maw, the Skywalkers and their Sith allies will have to fight an unimaginable evil, and Luke will be rocked by a staggering truth.

Jedi and Sith fight side by side against an even
greater foe.  But how long can enemies remain
allies?  And how high is the price of betrayal?

In a stunning turn of events, Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, joined forces with the Sith armada sent to kill them - and used their combined might against the monstrous being Abeloth. But when the wounded creature escapes, the fragile armistice crumbles, and hostilities resume with the attempted assassination of Luke.

On the hunt for Abeloth and on the run from the Sith, Luke and Ben find themselves trapped by a mob of angry Force adepts who care little for the difference between light side and dark side.

With the Jedi’s most famous father-and-son team outnumbered and outgunned, the countdown to galactic disaster has begun - and time is running out.

The Jedi have struck a blow against tyranny. Can they strike down ultimate evil?

Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors dismantle Daala’s draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi’s new authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.

Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers’ quest threatens to become a suicide mission.

The galaxy stands leaderless.  Can the Jedi save it - or will their enemies enslave it?

The toppling of ruthless Natasi Daala has left a political vacuum on Coruscant and ignited a power struggle between opposing factions racing to claim control of the Galactic Alliance. Surrounded by hidden agendas, treacherous conspiracies, and covert Sith agents, the Jedi Order must keep the government from collapsing into anarchy - while facing the combined threats of the resurgent Lost Sith Tribe, a deposed dictator bent on vengeance, and the enduring menace of Abeloth, the profoundly evil entity hungry to become a god.

It’s not just the future of the galaxy at stake.
It’s the destiny of the Force.

In the stunning finale of the epic Fate of the Jedi series, Jedi and Sith face off - with Coruscant as their battlefield. For the Sith, it’s the chance to restore their dominance over the galaxy that forgot them for so long. For Abeloth, it’s a giant step in her quest to conquer all life everywhere. For Luke Skywalker, it’s a call to arms to eradicate the Sith and their monstrous new master once and for all.

In a planetwide strike, teams of Jedi Knights take the Sith infiltrators by swift and lethal surprise. But victory against the cunning and savage Abeloth, and the terrifying endgame she has planned, is anything but certain. And as Luke, Ben, Han, Leia, Jaina, Jag, and their allies close in, the devastating truth about the dark side incarnate will be exposed - and send shock waves through the Jedi Order, the galaxy, and the Force itself.
