Synopsis

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 process 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. . . .

If you've read the later books and wondered how Jacen ended up the way he did, this book shows you what led to his tragic fate. Chilling, but still good reading.......more

4.0 Stars This is easily the best book in the New Jedi Order that I have read thus far. I think Matthew Strover is probably the best Star Wars author I've read and, once again, he did not disappoint. This book has some dark and rather disturbing moments for a Star Wars book. The character work was fa......more

Goodreads review by Shane Amazon on November 21, 2017

After decades of books, movies, cartoons and all the other incarnations of Star Wars we finally get a grown up intelligent book that explores the Force. Don't get me wrong I love epic battles and lightsaber snap-hissing but I have been waiting ages for someone to sit down and delve head first into t......more

(Red-gold slimelight pulsed through the smoke from the Well archway. A figure solidified in that archway: a silhouette approaching lazily through the smoke, haloed by the slimelight. A human silhouette. Bonelessly powerful: a sand panther, out for a stroll. Relaxed but alert. Poised. Predatory.) -deep p......more
