"I wish I could say that your light will never go out, that you'll always know the right thing to do but I can't; being good is a choice you have to make, everyday.

Please don't give in. Please don't choose the darkness."

Despite Kylo Ren's best efforts to purge the galaxy of the Jedi for good, there were two who survived the massacre of the temple. The first was Master Skywalker, and the second was apprentice Nova Corvack.

Although not much of a Jedi anymore, Nova is determined to put a stop to the First Order. And while she wants nothing more than to let her past die, and all memory the Jedi along with it, the discovery of a map leading to Luke Skywalker has Nova realising there are just some things she'll never escape.

With the First Order on the warpath, the resistance scrambles to keep the map out of their hands. And so despite crippling nightmares, and the risk of coming face to face with the very monster that ravaged the only family she had, Nova accompanies Poe Dameron to Jakku to retrieve the map.

But the First Order, desperate to finally wipe the last Jedi from the galaxy, is closing in. And when both she and Poe are captured, Nova isn't so sure she'll escape Kylo Ren a second time. At least, not with her soul intact. Because for all his darkness, Nova loved Ben Solo, and she'll be damned if she doesn't at least try to save him.

But just as she hopes to bring him back to the light, he threatens to pull her into the dark. And she's never been able to say no to him before . . .
