After the thrilling events of The High Republic: Convergence the Jedi race to confront the
Path of the Open Hand and end the Forever War. After five years of conflict the planets Eiram
and E’ronoh are on the cusp of real peace. But when news breaks of a disaster at the treaty
signing on Jedha violence reignites on the beleaguered worlds. Together the royal heirs of
both planets—Phan-tu Zenn and Xiri A’lbaran—working alongside the Jedi have uncovered evidence
that the conflict is being orchestrated by outside forces and all signs point to the
mysterious Path of the Open Hand whom the Jedi also suspect of causing the disaster on Jedha.
With time—and answers—in short supply the Jedi must divide their focus between helping quell
the renewed violence on Eiram and E’ronoh and investigating the Path. Among them is Gella
Nattai who turns to the one person she believes can unravel the mystery but the last person
she wants to trust: Axel Greylark. The chancellor’s son imprisoned for his crimes has always
sought to unburden himself of the weight of his family name. Will he reconcile with the Jedi
and aid in their quest for justice and peace or embrace the Path’s promise of true freedom? As
all roads lead to Dalna Gella and her allies prepare to take on a foe unlike any they’ve ever
faced. And it will take all of their trust in the Force and in one another to survive.
