Synopsis

When the Jedi Order falls, an Inquisitor rises.
 
Padawan Iskat Akaris has dedicated her life to traveling the galaxy alongside her master, learning the ways of the Force to become a good Jedi. Despite Iskat’s dedication, peace and control have remained elusive, and with each setback, she feels her fellow Jedi grow more distrustful of her. Already uncertain about her future in the Jedi Order, Iskat faces tragedy when her master is killed and the Clone Wars engulf the galaxy in chaos.
 
Now a general on the front lines contributing to that chaos, she is often reminded: Trust in your training. Trust in the wisdom of the Council. Trust in the Force. Yet as the shadows of doubt take hold, Iskat begins to ask questions that no Jedi is supposed to ask. Questions about her own unknown past. Questions the Jedi Masters would consider dangerous.
 
As the years pass and the war endures, Iskat’s faith in the Jedi wanes. If they would grant her more freedom, she is certain she could do more to protect the galaxy. If they would trust her with more knowledge, she could finally cast aside the shadows that have begun to consume her. When the Jedi Order finally falls, Iskat seizes the chance to forge a path of her own. She embraces the salvation of Order 66.
 
As an Inquisitor, Iskat finds the freedom she has always craved: to question, to want. And with each strike of her red blade, Iskat moves closer to claiming her new destiny in the Force—whatever the cost.

Goodreads review by Jonathan on July 19, 2023

Oh man, Delilah Dawson triumphantly returns to the Star Wars universe, this time in a new era for her, the prequels! Probably the biggest shock of reading this book was the focus on the Clone Wars.

Goodreads review by Daniel on July 24, 2023

I was completely taken aback by this book -- it confounded my expectations and I couldn't stop reading it. An emotionally exhausting tragedy, both personal and galactic. Iskat Akaris is the ultimate victim. First she is the victim of an uncaring Jedi Order, an organization that authors its own death......more

Goodreads review by Jim on November 11, 2024

This is a novel that tells the complete life story about a character that made a brief appearance in a comic run. The majority of the story tells about her life living as a Jedi and how she feels like she never belonged. This leads to her willingly joining the dark side. This book totally surprised m......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on September 22, 2023

I give this a 4.5/5 stars! This was a really enjoyable read; I think anyone who is a fan of the Clone Wars era or the Rise of the Galactic Empire would love this book. This starts off as a story of a Jedi padawan named Iskat who just doesn’t fit in and seemingly is always messing up. During the Battl......more
