Sylvestri Yarrow watches her family's cargo business crumble after her mother's death. Debt piles up while Nihil raiders attack ships across the galaxy. She travels to Coruscant seeking financial help but gets pulled into a bitter dispute between two powerful Republic families over frontier territory. The promise of substantial payment keeps her involved despite her hatred of political games. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh receives a mysterious summons to the galactic capital. She arrives with her Padawan Imri Cantaros, joined by Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his apprentice Reath Silas. Republic officials assign them to mediate the same property conflict that has ensnared Syl. The Jedi wonder why an apparently worthless stretch of space matters so much to these feuding houses. As Vernestra investigates, she discovers new depths to her Force abilities. Syl finds herself confronting painful memories and family secrets she thought buried forever. The empty frontier holds answers that will reshape both women's understanding of their pasts and futures.
