*Sequel to Across the Stars and Beyond, if you haven't already please read it before you read this one as it will contain spoilers for the previous book and might not make sense* After the defeat of the separatists and the death of General Grievous, Darth Sidious and Lord Tyrannus, Jedi General Aayla Secura and Commander Bly have settled on Lothal restoring the Jedi Temple there to its former glory. Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex also train new Padawans and recruits from Lothal. But a shadow is arising, Darth Maul, once defeated by Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi, has arisen to become ruler of Mandalore, and it is a race against time to help Satine Kryze, once ruler of Mandalore as Darth Maul has her captive. As apart of this new uprising, a once thought to be defeated Sith Empire over 3,600 years ago is arising thanks to the support of Darth Maul. In the midst of this chaotic time, Kanan Jarrus, formerly known as Caleb Dume finds and trains a new recruit named Ezra Bridger to become a Jedi in a now conquered Sith Empire world.
