Publisher's summary

The galaxy is struggling to recover five years following the destruction of the Death Star and the demise of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Princess Leia and Han Solo are now a married couple anticipating the arrival of their twins, while Luke Skywalker stands as the pioneer of a new order of Jedi Knights, an event long awaited.

However, thousands of light-years distant, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the last of the Emperor's warlords—a figure of both brilliance and lethalness—has assumed control of the decimated Imperial fleet. He has prepared it for renewed conflict, setting its course toward the vulnerable core of the New Republic. This formidable warrior possesses two critical revelations that threaten to obliterate all that the brave members of the Rebel Alliance have tirelessly striven to establish.

The resulting, high-stakes confrontation unfolds as a grand and sweeping narrative filled with action, innovation, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale—truly, a story befitting the Star Wars legacy.
