Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The heroes of the High Republic era return to face a shattered peace and a fearsome foe, following the dramatic events of Light of the Jedi.

In the wake of the Great Hyperspace Disaster and the heroism of the Jedi, the Republic continues to grow, bringing more worlds together under a single unified banner. Under the leadership of Chancellor Lina Soh, the spirit of unity extends throughout the galaxy, with the Jedi and the newly established Starlight Beacon station at the vanguard.

In celebration, the chancellor plans The Republic Fair, a showcase of the possibilities and the peace of the expanding Republic - a peace the Jedi hope to foster. Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann and others join the event as ambassadors of harmony. But as the eyes of the galaxy turn toward the Fair, so, too, does the fury of the Nihil. Their leader, Marchion Ro, is intent on destroying this unity. His storm descends on the pageantry and celebration, sowing chaos and exacting revenge.

As the Jedi struggle to curb the carnage of the rampaging Nihil, they come face-to-face with the true fear their enemy plans to unleash across the galaxy - the kind of fear from which even the Force cannot shield them.

Fantastic

Another excellent entry in the High Republic series. a direct sequel to Light of the Jedi. I also listened to A test of courage and In to the dark, which were set during the same period as the previous novel Light of a Jedi. Not required but it expanded on a few characters and on going events which crop up briefly in this one.

Nit as good as the first Cavan Scott High Republic

Just seemed to get a bit lost in all its politics a bit too much at times and lost my interest, it gained it back again when focusing on the characters we love such as Bell, Logan, Stellan and Marcion Row!

I can't even...

Oh wow, so many emotional ups and downs. I genuinely don't know how to put into words how I felt about this book. I loved it! The suspense of following my beloved characters from Light of the Jedi. The writing is so visual, and as a visual reader, this was both amazing and disturbing. Ty Yorrick gives me Ventrice vibes, but as if Ventrice didn't turn to the Dark Side.

I loved this book. It was beautiful and filled with hope and collaboration. But, oh my goodness, what an ending!!!! I can't even...
