THE GALAXY STANDS LEADERLESS. CAN THE JEDI SAVE IT—OR WILL THEIR ENEMIES ENSLAVE IT?
The  toppling of ruthless Natasi Daala has left a political vacuum on  Coruscant and ignited a power struggle between opposing factions racing  to claim control of the Galactic Alliance. Surrounded by hidden agendas,  treacherous conspiracies, and covert Sith agents, the Jedi Order must  keep the government from collapsing into anarchy—while facing the  combined threats of the resurgent Lost Sith Tribe, a deposed dictator  bent on vengeance, and the enduring menace of Abeloth, the profoundly  evil entity hungry to become a god.
