Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra is running low on credits, so when the Empire offers her a massive payout to map the ruins of the "extinct" Nightsisters on Dathomir, she signs the contract without reading the fine print. It sounds simple: scan some ancient tombs, dodge the local wildlife, and maybe pocket a few priceless artifacts when the Imperial overseers aren't looking. Backed by her usual chaotic crew-the murder-happy droids Triple-Zero and BT-1, alongside the grumpy Wookiee Black Krrsantan-Aphra expects an easy payday.
Instead, she finds a living, breathing Nightsister who wants her dead, and a fallen Jedi Master obsessed with twisting ancient magick to build a dark new order.
Merrin is fierce, haunted, and fiercely protective of her slaughtered clan's legacy. She has every reason to hate outsiders, but she didn't count on Aphra's relentless irreverence, sharp wit, and unexpected kindness. As the dangers of Dathomir close in, the rogue archaeologist and the vengeful witch are forced into an uneasy alliance.
Between dodging lightsabers, slicing Imperial data pads, and escaping ancient crypts, an electric connection sparks between them-one that neither independent survivor is prepared for. Aphra came to Dathomir for artifacts, but she might just leave with a witch.
