Jedi Padawan Reath Silas isn’t sure if he’s ready for an adventure. Yet he finds himself boarding a small ship en-route to might-as-well-be-nowhere instead of remaining in the Jedi Archives where he feels most at home. Why? Because his Master said so. He has no other choice. But when the Great Disaster hits, Silas and his newfound companions find themselves on a much more dangerous journey. Dark side energy, questionable plants, and a galaxy thrust into unprecedented chaos await the crew of The Vessel at every turn ... and there's something even darker waiting to strike. Claudia Gray's first High Republic novel is not her first go at a Star Wars story, and it shows. Prepare to meet a cast of characters you'll never want to leave behind and dive into a story full of mystery, high-stakes action, and answers to questions about the Jedi and the Sith that will only leave you with -- you guessed it -- more questions.
