The next novel set in the Old Republic era and predicated on the massively multiplayer video game Star Wars®: The Old Republic™ ramps in the action and provides readers face-to-face for the very first time with a Sith warrior to rival probably the most sinister of the Order’s Dark Lords-Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular “Deceived” and “Wish” game trailers.

Malgus brought straight down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, tranquility would transform him into something far more heinous-something Malgus could not desire to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.

Her name is Aryn Leneer-and the lone Knight that Malgus decrease in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Expert. And today she’s going to uncover what occurred to him, even if this means breaking every rule in the book.
