NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale, an original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology.
The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire.
Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith.
The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire . . . but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence.
Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side.
As the galaxy's perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life.
Customer Reviews
Not the best.
I don’t suggest to og Star Wars fans. But for animeXStarWars fans, I’d recommend it. There are so many bad (mostly) and good Star Wars books out there…but personally I’d say the movies are better ;]

Sublime
An incredible piece of writing that utterly transcends its roots, while also understanding their potential more so than anyone else currently playing in this particular sandbox. An ethereally beautiful story of loss, betrayal, and meaning, not to mention tea shops, droids in hats, and action scenes that absolutely slap. Candon has done a dangerous thing here, because the implied potential of what this means for franchise writing is a great and terrible burden. I can’t wait to see what she, and those inspired by her, do with it.
Pretty good
I haven’t finished it yet but so far it’s definitely a different kind of story but it’s really good and I like the characters in it
