When Stars Turn Red

Every star burns brightest before it dies.
When the Jedi Order falls, Vaela Rayne loses everything in a single night - her master, her purpose, her place in the galaxy. What remains is a woman with nothing left to lose and an Empire willing to give her somewhere to put the pain.
For five years, the First Sister serves the Empire's most feared Inquisitor - hunting the survivors of a purge she barely survived herself, building her identity on the ruins of everything she used to be. She tells herself she chose this. She tells herself she is stronger for it. She tells herself the girl she used to be is gone.
Then ghosts from a long forgotten past begin to haunt her, marking the beginning of the end. The voice of the man who trained her begins breaking through walls she spent five years building.
A dying star doesn't go quietly. And its final hours, it expands - burning hotter, and brighter than it ever did before, consuming everything in its path. Only then, does it collapse into something new.
When Stars Turn Red is the story of the First Sister burning. And what she finds in the dark when the fire finally goes out.
