Luke Skywalker and his son Ben track Abeloth, a dangerous dark-side creature that threatens the galaxy. Meanwhile, the Lost Tribe of the Sith faces internal destruction from a force that will pit one Dark Lord against his own family member in deadly combat. On Coruscant, political chaos erupts as different groups fight to control the Galactic Alliance government. Secret Sith operatives work behind the scenes while conspirators pursue hidden goals. The Jedi Order finds itself surrounded by enemies on multiple fronts. They must prevent the government from falling apart while facing three major threats: the growing power of the Sith, a former dictator seeking revenge across the galaxy, and Abeloth herself. This ancient entity possesses cunning intelligence and seeks to achieve godlike status. The Jedi struggle to maintain peace and protect democratic rule, but they discover that even their considerable abilities may not be enough against such combined opposition.
