Mace Windu hails from the jungle planet of Haruun Kal, even though his true home is now with the Jedi. However, when Haruun Kal becomes another war-torn world in the galactic struggle, the Council decides to send his former Padawan, Depa Billaba, to help train the natives to fight back against the Separatist invasion. When Billaba disappears, leaving only a mysterious recording behind, Mace must return to his old home, face his past, and do all he can to save the future of his old Padawan.

Matthew Stover delivers a thrilling story that not only gives the fan-favorite character of Mace Windu the spotlight, but also introduces “shatterpoint,” or the ability to sense when significant events are occurring through the Force.
