The instant New York Times bestseller! Nowhere is safe within the eye of the storm. . . .
The Galactic Republic is in chaos following the Nihil’s shocking destruction of the gleaming
space station Starlight Beacon. Capitalizing on their victory the Nihil have erected a barrier
called the Stormwall around a section of Republic space and claimed it for themselves. Within
this Occlusion Zone people live at the mercy of the Nihil—and the Nihil are not known for
mercy. Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh believing her Padawan Imri Cantaros to be among the
casualties of Starlight Beacon has retreated to a peaceful planet where she hopes to nurse her
wounds and regain some sense of equilibrium. But her old friend Avon Starros has other plans.
Avon knows that Imri is alive inside the Occlusion Zone—and she and Vernestra must be the ones
to find him. With the help of former frontier deputy Jordanna Sparkburn and the extremely
untrustworthy Xylan Graf Avon and Vernestra set out to breach the Stormwall and enter the
Occlusion Zone in search of Imri. But within Nihil territory danger lurks around every corner
. . . as do terrifying creatures known as the Nameless. How can Vernestra find her lost
Padawan when her very strength in the Force becomes her ultimate weakness? And what are Avon’s
true motivations behind enemy lines?
