The next adventure in the High Republic begins expanding the new era of Star Wars with a story set generations before Light of the Jedi

It is an age of exploration Jedi travel the galaxy expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it Meanwhile the Republic led by its two chancellors works to unite worlds in an evergrowing community among near and distant stars

On the close orbiting planets of Eiram and Eronoh the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly Their hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems The last hope for peace emerges when heirs from the two planets royal families plan to marry

Before lasting peace can be established an assassination attempt targeting the couple tilts Eiram and Eronoh back into allout war To save both worlds Jedi Knight Gella Nattai volunteers to uncover the culprit while Chancellor Kyong appoints her son Axel Greylark to represent the Republics interests in the investigation

But Axels deep distrust of the Jedi sparks against Gellas faith in the Force Shes never met such a puffedup privileged party boy and hes never met a more selfserious relentless dogooder The more they work to untangle the shadowy web of the investigation the more complicated the conspiracy appears to be With accusations flying and potential enemies in every shadow the pair will have to work together to have any hope of bringing the truth to light and saving both worlds
