Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith

More about the book

Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. Nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, the remnants of Palpatine's forces have retreated to the galaxy's farthest reaches. However, for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss persist in this new era of peace. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is troubled by visions of the dark side, hinting at an ominous secret on a dead world called Exegol. His fears are confirmed when Lando approaches him with news of a new Sith threat. Lando, searching for his kidnapped daughter, has pursued leads across the stars, only to find dead ends—until he encounters Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with abducting a young girl. Ochi's true motives remain unclear to Luke and Lando. On a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has given Ochi a sacred blade, promising answers to his lingering questions in exchange for a final mission: to return to Exegol with the key to the Sith's rebirth—the granddaughter of Darth Sidious, Rey. As Ochi hunts Rey and her family, Luke and Lando race to uncover the mystery of the Sith's shadow and protect a young family on the run.
