Description

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAn unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future. A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force.

But perhaps a Jediâ€™s most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned.

Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own.

But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him.

Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi?

Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasnâ€™t Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Councilâ€”knowing it would mean the end of their partnership?

The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master. When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together.

What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gonâ€™s mind.

As Qui-Gonâ€™s faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wanâ€™s faith in him is testedâ€”just as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.
