The galaxy reels one year after Starlight Beacon's destruction. The anarchist Nihil have claimed territory behind an impenetrable barrier called the Stormwall, creating the Occlusion Zone where no Republic forces can reach. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh knows countless lives hang in the balance on the far side of that wall. She partners with scientist Avon Starros to pierce the Nihil defenses and mount a rescue mission. But the Nihil's true agenda remains hidden, and mysterious creatures capable of destroying Jedi lurk in the shadows. As Vernestra pushes deeper into Nihil territory, she faces enemies that threaten not just her mission but the very foundation of the Jedi Order. The Republic's survival depends on her success.
