In the perilous and uncharted depths of the Unknown Regions, Sarah Morgan, a former smuggler turned reluctant ally of the Chiss Ascendancy, finds herself aboard the Stormrider, a warship tasked with defending the galaxy from the growing threat of the Grysk. Amidst the backdrop of Chiss military hierarchy and the mystery surrounding the Grysk, Seri is drawn into a dangerous game of diplomacy, survival, and discovery when she becomes acquainted with Che'ri, a young Sky-walker navigator with unique Force-sensitive abilities. As the crew faces constant threats from the Grysk and the complexities of Chiss policy, Seri must navigate not only the tactical challenges of deep space warfare but also the enigmatic powers of Che'ri, whose skills rival those of the Jedi.
Torn between her smuggler's instinct for action and the Chiss's rigid code of conduct, Seri struggles to balance her own personal sense of justice with the Ascendancy's unyielding rules. After an impulsive decision leads her to single-handedly destroy a Grysk warship, Seri finds herself facing the wrath of the Chiss high command, forcing her to confront both the consequences of her actions and the mystery of Che'ri's abilities. As tensions rise and the threat of the Grysk looms larger, Seri, Thrawn, and the crew of the Stormrider must prepare for a confrontation that could change the fate of the Unknown Regions-and the future of the Chiss Ascendancy itself.
Sarah: Chiss Rising is a thrilling Star Wars story that blends action, political intrigue, and deep personal journeys, exploring the fine line between order and chaos, duty and morality, through the eyes of a smuggler who never quite expected to become a hero.
