The Sith Empire faces instability. With the Emperor missing and presumed deceased, a Sith Lord's ambitious attempt to claim the throne resulted in their demise. Despite this, Darth Karrid, in command of the formidable Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, persists in her unwavering pursuit of complete Sith dominance throughout the galaxy.
However, Karrid's relentless resolve is rivaled by the unwavering determination of Theron Shan, whose unresolved issues with the Empire hold the potential to reshape the war's trajectory. Although he is the son of a Jedi Master, Theron lacks Force abilities, but he embodies the spirit of rebellion, much like his esteemed mother. As a top-tier covert operative for the Republic, he dealt a significant blow to the Empire by uncovering and dismantling a Sith superweapon arsenal, making him the perfect choice for a perilous mission to put an end to the Ascendant Spear's reign of terror.
Accompanied by the impulsive smuggler Teff'ith, with whom he shares an inexplicable connection, and the wise Jedi warrior Gnost-Dural, Darth Karrid's former mentor, Theron must engage in a battle of wits and weaponry against a seasoned crew of ruthless dark side followers. However, time is running out. Failure to seize their sole opportunity will undoubtedly lead to countless opportunities for their demise.
Random House Audio released the audiobook, performed by Marc Thompson, on November 13, 2012, in both digital download and eight-disc compact disc formats. Kevin Thomsen served as the director, while Aaron Blank took on the role of producer.
