Light of the Jedi

The galaxy is at peace, and the Republic is growing. Hyperspace scouts push its reach toward the farthest stars, the Senate governs worlds that thrive, and the Jedi, at the height of their power, keep order with the Force. The setting is the High Republic, an era set long before the Clone Wars, the Empire and the First Order.

That calm breaks when a ship is torn apart in hyperspace. Its wreckage comes out of the jump as a storm of fragments aimed at an entire system. The Jedi answer the call for help and rush to the scene, but the size of the disaster pushes even them to their limit.

The central stretch of the book is a single day of rescue and damage control, in which one mistake could cost billions of lives. The Jedi have to rely on the Force to hold the system together while debris falls from the sky onto worlds that never expected to face such danger.

Beyond the edge of Republic space, a separate danger is growing. The hyperspace disaster is more sinister than the Jedi suspect, and something hidden out in the dark holds a secret able to frighten even a Jedi. This is a Star Wars adventure with an ensemble feel, a large-scale disaster at the start, and a darker threat building behind it.
