In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is complete. As the galaxy succumbs to the grip of the new Empire, Vader grapples with his shattered past and the weight of his dark new identity. His quest to protect his beloved Padmé Amidala from the Emperor's schemes leads him to the volcanic world of Mustafar, where he confronts both his enemies and his inner demons. Amidst the chaos and betrayal, Vader's struggle to reconcile his former self with his new role as the enforcer of the Empire sets the stage for a galaxy-wide conflict.

Book 2: The Dark Ascendant
As the Empire consolidates its power, Vader is tasked with hunting down the remnants of the Jedi Order and quelling the rising rebellion. The galaxy is a battleground of shadowy intrigues and fierce battles, with Vader at the center of it all. His search for Padmé and their child continues, as he navigates through a web of deceit, treachery, and the ever-looming threat of the Emperor's manipulation.

As the rebellion gains momentum and the stakes rise, Vader faces his greatest challenge yet: reconciling his role as the Emperor's enforcer with his desire to protect his family. Betrayal, redemption, and the struggle for power reach a climax as Vader confronts the Emperor's true intentions and fights to secure a future for his child. In a galaxy teetering on the brink of chaos, Vader's choices will determine the fate of the Empire and the legacy he leaves behind.

In a galaxy where the struggle for power crushes the weak, Aelinara Sylorin, exiled heir to the throne of Valkorin, embarks on a solitary and determined quest to restore her people's honor. Her once-prosperous world has been conquered by the Galactic Empire, leaving its culture in ruins and its future uncertain. Scarred by the loss of her parents-a courageous queen and a Jedi master-Aelinara has spent a decade exploring forgotten Sith temples, unraveling the secrets of the Force, and seeking ways to overthrow Emperor Palpatine. Under a false identity, she infiltrates the inner workings of the Empire and crosses paths with Thrawn, an imperial Admiral as brilliant as he is enigmatic. Intrigued by her intellect and deep knowledge of ancient cultures, Thrawn sees her as a valuable ally for his own strategic plans. In turn, Aelinara recognizes in him a rare opportunity to access critical Imperial resources for her mission. Between them forms a fragile alliance, fraught with distrust yet driven by common goals. When Aelinara reveals her true identity and intentions to Thrawn, their unlikely partnership evolves into a complex bond, teetering between distrust and respect, attraction and duty. Together, they tread the treacherous terrain of precarious alliances and potential betrayals, all while uncovering the true power of the Sith artifacts they seek. These relics, remnants of an ancient and dangerous power, may hold the key to weakening the Emperor-but wielding them comes with immense risk. Aelinara walks a razor's edge: between betrayal and trust, rebellion and submission, light and shadow. In this fight for survival, she must not only choose her allies but also determine what kind of sovereign she wishes to become for her people.

In a galaxy divided by war and haunted by ancient secrets, the story of Kodo becomes a legacy embodied by three figures, each reflecting an aspect of who he once was-a Jedi, a betrayer, and a father. Kodo was born of mysterious origins, stripped of his past, and molded into a Jedi of rare skill and potential. Known for his masterful command of lightsaber combat and guided by esteemed mentors like Master Tholme and Battlemaster Skarch Vaunk, Kodo became a celebrated warrior and a disciplined defender of the Force. But within his disciplined heart lay shadows-shadows that would reshape his destiny. As his mastery grew, so did Kodo's curiosity about the forbidden knowledge hidden within the Jedi Order. Underneath his silent, ominous black robes, he harbored doubts about the very ideals he was sworn to protect. The secrets he unearthed led him to question the Jedi way and ultimately cast him into darkness. Assuming the mantle of Mortifex Umbra, he became a menacing presence, wielding a dual-phase purple lightsaber with deadly precision. Known as "Lord Mortifex" by allies and enemies alike, Kodo shed his former self to embrace a path that blurred the line between justice and vengeance. Yet, even as he drifted away from the Order, traces of Kodo's humanity persisted. In hidden moments with Liora, he found love, and their child became a symbol of a life he could never fully embrace. Sent to his family on Chandrila, his daughter became a legacy he could not protect but deeply loved. His secret bond with her and his unfulfilled role as a father became a quiet wound, a reminder of the sacrifice he bore to carve out his own path.

Millennia hardened his heart, turning love and hope into forgotten echoes, while humanity, shadows of their former greatness, crawl beneath the rule of his corrupted creation.
