A Spark in the Ashes

Living in the shadow of a legendary family is one thing; living in the shadow of a monster is another. For nineteen-year-old Jay Malin, the Force was never a calling. Unlike his older brother, Ben, Jay was born without a drop of space-wizard magic-and he was fine with that. Give him a cockpit, a starfighter, and an open sky, and he was home. But when Ben turned to the dark side and burned Luke Skywalker's temple to the ground, Jay's world fractured.

Years later, Jay has carved out a life for himself as one of the Resistance's best young pilots, flying shoulder-to-shoulder with his closest friend and squad leader, Poe Dameron. When a critical mission to Jakku to retrieve a map to Luke Skywalker goes catastrophically wrong, Jay and Poe are captured by the First Order. Suddenly, Jay finds himself face-to-face with Kylo Ren-seeing his brother for the first time in six terrifying years.

With his true identity hanging by a thread and his past crashing into his present, Jay must navigate a deadly game of survival.
