In this Star Wars Legends novel, which is considered essential, Mace Windu is compelled to travel to his forgotten origin planet, where he must face a frightening enigma that carries significant personal implications.
Haruun Kal, a jungle planet and Mace's distant birthplace, has transformed into a war zone amidst the growing conflict between the Republic and the Separatist faction. The Jedi Council has dispatched Depa Billaba—Mace's former apprentice and a fellow Council member—to Haruun Kal. Her mission is to train the local tribes into a guerrilla fighting force, to stand against the Separatists, who are using their droid armies to control the planet and its vital star system. However, the Separatists have retreated, and Depa has vanished. The only trace of her is a mysterious recording found at a brutal massacre site: a recording suggesting madness and murder, and the jungle's darkness…a recording featuring Depa's voice.
Mace Windu was her teacher. He is the only one who can locate her. He is the only one who can understand her transformation. He is the only one who can stop her.
Jedi were never meant to be warriors. But circumstances have forced their hand. Mace must venture alone into the most perilous jungle in the galaxy—and confront his own past. He will abandon the Republic, the civilization he cherishes, everything except his dedication to peace and his love for his former student. He will come to understand the devastating cost when peacekeepers are compelled to wage war….
