Description
When the Jedi Order falls, an Inquisitor rises.
Padawan Iskat Akaris has dedicated her life to traveling the galaxy alongside her master, learning the ways of the Force to become a good Jedi. Despite Iskat’s dedication, peace and control have remained elusive, and with each setback, she feels her fellow Jedi grow more distrustful of her. Already uncertain about her future in the Jedi Order, Iskat faces tragedy when her master is killed and the Clone Wars engulf the galaxy in chaos.
Now a general on the front lines contributing to that chaos, she is often reminded: Trust in your training. Trust in the wisdom of the Council. Trust in the Force. Yet as the shadows of doubt take hold, Iskat begins to ask questions that no Jedi is supposed to ask. Questions about her own unknown past. Questions the Jedi Masters would consider dangerous.
As the years pass and the war endures, Iskat’s faith in the Jedi wanes. If they would grant her more freedom, she is certain she could do more to protect the galaxy. If they would trust her with more knowledge, she could finally cast aside the shadows that have begun to consume her. When the Jedi Order finally falls, Iskat seizes the chance to forge a path of her own. She embraces the salvation of Order 66.
As an Inquisitor, Iskat finds the freedom she has always craved: to question, to want. And with each strike of her red blade, Iskat moves closer to claiming her new destiny in the Force—whatever the cost.
Reviews
Rise of the Red Blade
2By Walden722Started off amazingly and gave good background to the Clone wars…..but then it fizzled badly.Stunning Chapter in the Star Wars Universe
5By Galaxy DiFantastic, complex, devastating, and satisfying book that gives a different perspective of the Star Wars universe.Fantastic!
5By TjrunningA tremendous tale of the often blurry lines between right and wrong. Good and bad. Choices. Consequences. Hope and dreams lost. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.
