Publisher's summary

Repercussions from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Having narrowly escaped the deranged Force worshippers known as the Mind Walkers, and a deadly Sith hit squad, Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now masterless Sith apprentice. It is a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir, where an enclave of powerful dark-side Force-wielders will give Vestara the edge she needs to escape - and where the Skywalkers will be forced into combat for their quarry and their lives.

Meanwhile, Han and Leia have completed their own desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi from Coruscant to a safe haven in the Transitory Mists and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver has intensified Daalas fury, and she is determined to shatter Jedi Order resistance once and for all.

Yet no greater threat exists than that which still waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: a being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to their survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing and life-altering encounter of untold magnitude and a tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.

Featured Article: Bright Suns! On Star Wars, Fandom, and a Trip to the Galaxy's Edge


There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

Great book, Great performance.

I’ve rarely delved into the legends material of Star Wars but this series is mention so much I had to give it a shot. I was trepidatious about the directions shifts between three writers of a series, but this book shows that they are bouncing from writer to writer without me noticing a change.
The dynamics of character and story is presented artfully.
Marc Thompson is always amazing a delight to listen to.

The saga continues

This is Star Wars. This new series is the best so far, even surpassing Legacy of the Force, which was amazing. I've listened to each book in this series and each one has left me hungry for more. Alas, no new Star Wars until May! Awesome series, awesome book, awesome narration. We can only hope Marc Thompson narrates every Star Wars book in the future.

Pulls you in and doesn't let go!

This book and the other books in the Fate of the Jedi series are amazing! Marc Thompson makes everything seem so real. My favorite book, in the series so far, is Abyss! Both are a must read! I'm looking forward to finishing the entire series!
