Their ultimate confrontation is at hand.
The galaxy's destiny is on the line.
This captivating series comes from the pen of the New York Times bestselling author behind Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest.
Discovering that his former competitor Anakin Skywalker is now Darth Vader, Ferus Olin is consumed by hatred for Vader's actions against his comrade and closest friend, Roan Lands. Ferus resolves to eliminate Vader once and for all, a fate Vader intends to inflict upon Olin as well. Vader learns that Jenna Zan Arbor has lost her memories, preventing her from providing the drug needed to erase Padmé from his life permanently. Suspecting Ferus's involvement, he disregards his master Darth Sidious's orders and plots to kill him.
Simultaneously, Clive Flax and Astri Oddo uncover that their trusted friend, Flame, has been secretly working as an Imperial spy. They inform Ferus of this revelation. Influenced by the Sith holocron, he initially instructs them to eliminate her. However, regaining clarity moments later, he directs them to abandon her on a planet, leaving her behind.
Subsequently, Ferus ventures to the Jedi Temple and encounters Vader. A duel ensues. During their battle, Ferus reveals his knowledge of Vader's identity and his secret marriage to Padmé, followed by her supposed demise. Enraged, Vader attacks Ferus with unrestrained fury. Ferus realizes that brute force will not defeat Vader. He destroys the Holocron, reverting to his former Jedi self. Seizing the opportunity, Vader uses the Force to choke Ferus into unconsciousness. Believing him dead, Vader returns to his Star Destroyer.
Ferus is discovered and rescued by his friend Trever Flume. Meanwhile, Toma informs Raina that he has betrayed Acherin to the Empire in exchange for kingship. A deadly shootout ensues, resulting in both their deaths. Aboard his Star Destroyer, Darth Vader obliterates the asteroid, resulting in the deaths of Solace, Ry-Gaul, Garen Muln, and Oryon. Only Lune survives.
After an emotional farewell to Ferus, Trever's memory is erased to protect him from the Empire. Astri and Clive, now romantically involved, raise Trever and Lune in a secluded beach house, far from the Empire's reach. Ferus then travels to Alderaan, accepting a mission from Obi-Wan to watch over Leia, while Obi-Wan cares for Luke Skywalker. Leia will never know Ferus, but he will always be there, watching over her.
