The Clone Wars rage across the galaxy, pushing the Republic toward destruction. On Coruscant, Yoda receives an unexpected message from a Jedi who survived the latest battle. Count Dooku, the Sith Lord who was once Yoda's promising student, requests a meeting. He claims to want peace. Yoda knows the chances of Dooku's sincerity are nearly zero. Yet with a million lives hanging in the balance, the Grand Master cannot refuse. The rendezvous will happen on Vjun, a world saturated with dark side energy. Yoda must travel to this evil planet and confront the apprentice he once trained. Can he pull Dooku back from the shadows, or will his former student unleash deadly forces against him? Yoda understands one certainty as he prepares for the encounter. This confrontation will test him like no other battle in his long life.
