The Republic is breaking. The Jedi are fractured. Palpatine sits in chains, but his shadow still lingers - in the Senate, in the streets, and worst of all, inside Anakin's head. Every night the same visions return: Selara dying, their baby ripped from his arms, Obi-Wan standing against him.
For years, Anakin has craved one thing above all - to be trusted. To be seen. To be the Jedi the galaxy needs. But now, none of that matters. Not rank. Not prophecy. Not the Council. Only her. Only the child they've created together. His family. His future. And he will burn the galaxy to protect them if he has to.
But the closer the trial of Darth Sidious comes, the more the line between love and obsession blurs. His loyalty is tested. His bond with Obi-Wan cracks. And the fire inside him grows harder to control.
One choice will save the Republic.
The other will save his family.
But what if he can't have both?
This is book #3 of the series, if you have not read books 1 & 2, it definitely will help put things in perspective but its not exactly needed!!
