Echoes of Ash

Three thousand years before the Clone Wars, the Sith Empire returns-and Coruscant will burn.

Jedi Master Tyzen Xan has lost everything to an endless war: his first Padawan, his faith in peace, and soon, perhaps, himself. His new apprentice, Kaelen Voss, carries a rare and terrible gift-psychometry, the ability to see the past by touching objects. It shows him only betrayal and death.

Together, they uncover a conspiracy rotting inside the Republic itself. Corrupt elites are feeding intelligence to the Sith, prolonging the war for profit. It's called the Ghost Protocol.

But the conspiracy is not the threat. It is bait.

Darth Malgus-brutal, relentless, and unlike any Sith before him-wants only one thing: total war. While the Jedi chase ghosts, Malgus gathers the largest fleet in galactic history. His target is not a border world.

It is Coruscant itself.

When the Sacking of Coruscant begins, the Jedi Temple falls, the Republic crumbles, and Master Xan makes a final stand against an enemy he cannot defeat. A broken Padawan must carry the future on his shoulders-in a galaxy that has turned to ash.
