"The council didn't trust me, so how can I trust myself?"
:::
Ahsoka Tano thrives on purpose - and without it, she finds her life significantly harder.
With nothing to guide her, Ahsoka must learn to guide herself. In doing so, she must also learn to trust herself, where she found others did not.
No more war (for better or worse), no more mantras, and no more Jedi.
Ahsoka quickly discovers that her past teachings and skills are deemed useless in the Lower Levels, where survival outweighs honor, and greed outweighs compassion.
She learns the hard way that not everyone wants to be helped, and not everyone wants to help.
It is no secret to the citizens of the Coruscanti underworld that there is an absence of the Jedi Order on the planet on which they reside, and Ahsoka must come to terms with that cruel irony.
Left to fend for herself on the new battlefield in which she has no experience - a life of her own - Ahsoka must set new boundaries for herself, by herself.
For the first time in her life, Ahsoka Tano is truly lost and alone, with nothing to guide her or dictate what she can do.
But that also means that she is free, even if it takes her a while to realize it.
..
When Ahsoka Tano departed from the Jedi Order, it left many unanswered questions that sparked countless ideas and stories - and this book is just one of the many.

Anakin Skywalker could never forget his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, but the Jedi Order will waste no time mourning the loss of the ex-padawan. With a new enemy threatening the well-being of Coruscant, the Council forces the Chosen One to push aside his loss and focus on the new Force-User at hand, but this dark adversary might be the only person Anakin cannot fight.
