Ronin: A Visions Novel represents the complete, spoken-word rendition of the non-canon novel of the same title, penned by Emma Mieko Candon. Joel de la Fuente lends his voice as the narrator, and Random House Audio released it on October 12, 2021, to coincide with the book's release.
In this captivating Star Wars story, a mysterious ex-Sith roams the galaxy. This is a completely original novel, drawing inspiration from the world presented in "The Duel" from the Star Wars Visions [sic] animated collection.
The most devoted servants to the Empire are the Jedi.
Two decades prior, Jedi clans engaged in conflict while serving warring lords. Disgusted by this never-ending pattern, a group of Jedi rose up in rebellion, aiming to take control of their own fate and seize power without serving any master. They adopted the name Sith.
Ultimately, the Sith rebellion failed, collapsing due to internal conflicts and betrayals. The once-opposing lords then united to establish an Empire. However, even an Empire experiencing peace is not immune to violence.
Far away, at the edge of the Outer Rim, a former Sith wanders alone, accompanied by a loyal droid and the memory of a less refined era. He carries a lightsaber, yet he asserts no connection to any Jedi clan and pledges loyalty to no lord. His identity remains largely unknown, including his name, as he refrains from discussing his past or his regrets. His history is as closely guarded as the destructive red blade he carries at his side.
As the galaxy's relentless cycle of violence persistently disrupts his chosen isolation, and he finds himself compelled to duel a puzzling bandit who claims the title of Sith, it becomes evident that no amount of wandering can enable him to escape the ghosts of his past.
