From the Publisher

2023-09-09
Stirred by the provocations of a cult, violence erupts on Jedha, the religious epicenter of the galaxy.

Marda Ro, Guide of the Path of the Open Hand, believes in her people’s mission: “the Force will be free.” Her plan to peacefully join the Convocation, a council of Force religions, crumbles when Werth Plouth, the Path’s Herald, incites a riot that spreads throughout the city. Yana Ro warned her naïve cousin about the awaiting danger on Jedha, but Marda doesn’t recognize their leader’s true priority, which is to acquire the Rod of Daybreak. This artifact can control the Leveler, a monster that feeds on Force users, making it the Path’s ultimate weapon against the Jedi. Matty Cathley, a Jedi Padawan, spent most of her life on Jedha, but when her master is killed during the conflict, her new master sends her on a secret mission to Dalna with another Jedi Knight to investigate the origins of the Path of the Open Hand. This new installment in the High Republic series blasts off with high action and suspense driven by emotional stakes and elements of horror. Chapters alternate between the Ro cousins (two gray-skinned Evereni) and Matty (a Twi’lek with red skin). All three main characters, while distinct in their values and personalities, grapple with grief and belonging. The novel reflects the diversity in the galaxy around them, including casual queer representation.

A Force-powered series entry fans will enjoy. (Science fiction. 13-18)
