Following the events described in The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi make their way to Jedha in this brand new Star Wars original audiobook.
Jedha. The well-worn pathways of this ancient planet act as a meeting point for beings all across the galaxy. Everyone visits, but no one truly owns it. Here, the Jedi are simply one belief among a multitude of others who worship and study the Force. From the Whills' Guardians to the Open Hand's Path, countless beings arrive to learn and share in a spirit of peace.
As Jedha makes preparations for its Balance Festival, the galaxy is still shaken from the violence that occurred on Eiram and E'ronoh. However, after stopping a scheme designed to worsen the war between these two planets, the Jedi are optimistic that a lasting peace might be achievable. Master Creighton Sun and Jedi Knight Aida Forte journey to Jedha alongside delegations from both planets in order to officially bring the "Forever War" to an end. The Jedi are hopeful that the harmony between Jedha's many factions, combined with the signing of a peace agreement, will serve as an example to the rest of the galaxy of what can be accomplished through working together.
However, not everyone is pleased with the Jedi's presence or willing to concern themselves with the idea of peace. Whispers begin to spread suggesting that the Jedi bring war wherever they go. The distrust and anger that fueled the Forever War for so long now threatens to corrupt Jedha's communities. When violence erupts on the sacred moon, the war that was intended to conclude on Jedha may soon engulf the entire world.
