      What makes a queen turn evil? She hides behind a mask of deceit, and uses her "glamour" to gain power. But who is Queen Levana? Long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress in The Lunar Chronicles, Levana lived a very different story—a story that has never been told . . . until now.

      Poisoned by centuries of technological excess, the planet Duro is an unlivable hell, long abandoned by its own inhabitants, who dwell above their polluted world in orbital habitats. But there is no place else to channel the flood of refugees fleeing the murderous Yuuzhan Vong. So a deal is struck: In exchange for a new home, the refugees will work to restore the planet to health, under the watchful eye of Leia Organa Solo. As tempers begin to flare between the Duros and the New Republic, and between groups of refugees, Han Solo, his son, Jacen, and the Ryn called Droma arrive to keep the peace. They are unaware that Leia is on Duro . . . and that Luke, Mara, and Anakin are on their way, searching for a missing Jedi apprentice. And none realize that the Yuuzhan Vong have chosen this embattled planet as the next target in their brutal coreward thrust. The unrest only strengthens Jacen Solo's growing belief that a true Jedi should not fight, but should lead others to peace through a deeper understanding of the Force. Now, as the fragile stability on Duro threatens to collapse into violence, Jacen Solo must face his greatest dilemma: At what point does the use of power become aggression? Whatever he decides, his next step could tip the galaxy's destiny toward the light or toward darkness--with the life of someone he loves hanging in the balance . . .

    • Nová republika prochází krušnými časy. Vzájemná nedůvěra se rozbujela právě v okamžiku, kdy je nejpotřebnější jednota. Napětí panuje dokonce i mezi rytíři Jedi a proti vedení Luka Skywalkera se zvedá vlna odporu ze strany radikálněji smýšlejících členů řádu. Když bez varování udeří nelítostní nájezdníci známí jako Yuuzhan Vongové, Nová republika zaskočena. Luke musí vynaložit všechen um mistra Jedi, aby se alespoň pokusil porazit největší metlu galaxie od dob Dartha Vadera. Zatímco Leia a Gavin Darklighter se snaží zachránit zoufalé uprchlíky před yuuzhanvongskými vojsky, Mara Jade, Anakin Solo, Jacen Solo a Corran Horn musejí překonat sami sebe a postavit se nepříteli bez tváře, který je rozhodnut zničit Novou republiku a navždy nastolit vládu nejtemnějšího zla.
