About this ebook

The second novel set in the Old Republic era and based on the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars®: The Old Republic™ ramps up the action and brings readers face-to-face for the first time with a Sith warrior to rival the most sinister of the Order’s Dark Lords—Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular “Deceived” and “Hope” game trailers.

Malgus brought down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, peace would transform him into something far more heinous—something Malgus would never want to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.

Her name is Aryn Leneer—and the lone Knight that Malgus cut down in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Master. And now she’s going to find out what happened to him, even if it means breaking every rule in the book.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Ratings and reviews

Very poorly written. A sith even lets the hero ( a no name knight) live out of...honor.. The timeline doesnt tell you how close to Revan's era this is. & the Sith empire seems all human instead of sith i.e. Naga Sadow etc....

I bought this book a while back on my Motorola Xoom and was reading it day in and out. The only issue i have is now it does not show up in my library, so in order for me to read it i have to go in the play store if i want to read this book.

True to the lore of the Old Republic, this just goe's into great detail of one of the main fights at the beginning of the war. Truly sets the mood for the game!
