Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben, embarked on what they thought was a search for knowledge, but it has morphed into a desperate fight to stay alive. Utilizing the techniques of the Mind Walkers, they've dared to communicate with the spirits of the deceased by projecting their consciousness, an act that puts their very existence at risk. They successfully overcame a group of Sith assassins, defying expectations. However, Vestara Khai, the lone surviving Sith apprentice from that encounter, has now called in a whole squadron of Sith frigates to confront the beleaguered father and son. Surprisingly, these dark warriors arrive with a proposal: an unprecedented alliance between the Jedi and the Sith, forged against an evil that is both more ancient and more alien than anything they could have conceived.
As the Skywalkers and their newfound Sith allies venture into the dangerous region of black holes known as the Maw for their joint mission, Han and Leia Solo face the possibility of imprisonment, or worse, as they try to assist the Jedi who are being held captive back on Coruscant. Natasi Daala, the tyrannical Chief of State, has given directives that threaten to create an irreparable divide between her administration and the Jedi Order, potentially branding all Jedi as outlaws and wanted criminals.
The galaxy's destiny will be determined in the depths of the Maw. It is there that the Skywalkers and their Sith partners will engage in combat with a formidable monster, and Luke will uncover a truth that will shake him to his core.
