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.
