In this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian make their triumphant return to the Star Wars universe. The Empire, once mighty and oppressive, has been vanquished, leaving behind a tattered remnant of Palpatine's forces. However, the heroes of the New Republic, who have fought so hard for peace, find themselves still grappling with danger and loss.

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is plagued by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret lurking in the depths of space, on a desolate world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable, and Luke's worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian appears with alarming reports of a new Sith menace.

Lando's daughter, kidnapped from his arms, has become the focal point of his desperate search for her. He scours the stars, seeking any trace of his lost child, but every lead leads only to dead ends and fading hopes. Until he crosses paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.

Ochi's true motives remain shrouded in mystery, as Luke and Lando delve deeper into the mystery of the Sith's lingering shadow. On a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal bestows upon the assassin a sacred blade, promising that it will answer the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, Ochi must complete a final mission: return to Exegol with the key to the Sith's glorious rebirth—Rey, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself.

As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the heart of the mystery, seeking to aid a young family on the run from the dark forces that threaten to destroy them. The stakes have never been higher, and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance as Luke and Lando confront the ultimate evil that has risen to challenge the New Republic.
