A frontier dispute with Republic-wide stakes

Sylvestri Yarrow arrives on Coruscant seeking help to save her family’s cargo business, but a conflict between two powerful Republic families pulls her toward a disputed stretch of frontier space. At the same time, Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh and her companions are assigned to investigate the dispute, though its significance is not immediately clear. The parallel threads bring together personal loss, family interests, and the Jedi’s developing understanding of the Force within the High Republic era. The story connects a local struggle over property to larger questions about the past and the secrets buried in it.

Book overview

Another exciting adventure from the #1 New York Times best-selling series!

The darkest secrets are the hardest to bring to light....

Sylvestri Yarrow is on a streak of bad luck with no end of sight. She's been doing her best to keep the family cargo business going after her mom's death, but between mounting debt and increasing attacks by the Nihil on unsuspecting ships, Syl is in danger of losing all she has left of her mother. She heads to the galactic capital of Coruscant for help, but gets sidetracked when she's drawn into a squabble between two of the Republic's most powerful families over a patch of space on the frontier. Tangled up in familial politics is the last place Syl wants to be, but the promise of a big payoff is enough to keep her interested...

Meanwhile, Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh has been summoned to Coruscant, but with no idea of why or by whom. She and her Padawan Imri Cantaros arrive at the capital along with Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his Padawan, Reath Silas--and are asked to assist with the property dispute on the frontier. But why? What is so important about an empty patch of space? The answer will lead Vernestra to a new understanding of her abilities, and take Syl back to the past...and to truths that will finally come out of the shadows.

"Containing a dizzying number of overarching storylines and characters, this latest installment set in the High Republic era nonetheless excels...Per usual, Ireland's firm grasp of this universe keeps it all from running amok. An essential tome for die-hard Star Wars fans, although others will find much to enjoy." -- Kirkus Reviews
