Order 66 has been long passed. The Jedi, for the most part, have been exterminated, and the Empire has stretched over vast areas of the galaxy. Yet the Empire has not completely obliterated the Jedi. Kemberli Wan-Oba, a young human girl, has been brought up on Aetheria, a small planet in the Outer Rim, by a surviving Jedi Knight known as Yurlon Batado. For over a decade they have escaped detection. This peace cannot last, however, and Darth Vader himself arrives to destroy the only world Kemberli has ever known. He kills Master Batada and leaves Kemberli alive with the ominous choice of "die, or join the dark side." Alone, unsure, desperate, Kemberli falls to the dark side.... And begins a life she never imagined as the apprentice of Darth Vader. But the dark side is full of mystery, and while it gives Kemberli power she has never dreamed of, it begins to show her shadows of the past she has never known...

A decade after Order 66 there seems to be virtually no survivors of the once mighty Jedi Order. Yet the dark Sith lord Darth Vader is always vigilant and careful to check any possibility that he missed someone. When a vague report comes in, the Emperor's mighty punishing hand steps into action himself to take care of the only right outcome of events. He doesn't know that this time it is not just a survivor.
