Darth Malgus stands victorious over the smoking ruins of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. His brutal assault has shocked the galaxy and established him as one of the most feared Sith warriors of his generation. But peace threatens to transform this dark hero into something he never wanted to become. Aryn Leneer refuses to accept what happened during the Temple's fall. The Jedi Knight knows that Malgus struck down her Master in the fierce battle, and she will discover his fate no matter the cost. Her quest for answers puts her on a collision course with the masked Sith Lord himself. As Aryn breaks every rule in pursuit of the truth, Malgus finds that his greatest victory may become his undoing. War made him a legend among the Sith, but the approaching confrontation with this determined Jedi threatens to reveal what he truly fears to become.
