Premise edit
The Jedi deal with the aftermath of tragedy and a widespread attack on the Republic Fair, dubbed the "conflagrine on the flames"[3] by the "space Vikings" known as the Nihil. As Knights and Padawans stationed on Starlight Beacon recuperate from injuries and emotional trauma, Marchion Ro prepares his deadliest attack on the Order.[4]
Marketing edit
The novel's title was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2021 along with three other novels in the third wave of Light of the Jedi. The tagline associated with the third wave was "The Light of the Jedi goes dark", hinting at the increasingly grim direction the novel is set to take the franchise towards.[5]
