To defeat the Sith's most formidable warrior, an alliance with the dark side may be the only option.
Amidst the galactic war between the dark side's forces and the Republic's armies, Count Dooku, once a Jedi Master but now a ruthless Sith Lord, has escalated his brutal strategies. Despite the Jedi's abilities and their clone army's military strength, the mounting death toll is devastating. When Dooku orchestrates the slaughter of a fleet of defenseless refugees, the Jedi Council deems it necessary to take decisive action: targeting Count Dooku, the perpetrator of numerous war atrocities.
However, the elusive Dooku poses a threat even to the most accomplished hunters. Thus, the Council makes a daring choice to harness the power of both sides of the Force, pairing the impetuous Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos with the notorious former Sith apprentice, Asajj Ventress. Despite the Jedi's deep-seated mistrust of the cunning assassin who once served Dooku, Ventress harbors an even greater hatred for her former master. She eagerly offers her extensive skills as a bounty hunter—and assassin—to aid Vos in his mission.
Together, Ventress and Vos represent the best chance to eliminate Dooku—provided their burgeoning feelings do not jeopardize their objective. Ventress, however, is determined to exact her revenge and finally relinquish her dark Sith past. Balancing her complex emotions for Vos with her warrior's spirit, she vows to achieve victory on all fronts—a commitment that will be severely tested by her lethal adversary . . . and her own uncertainties.
