The life of street thief Rissa changed dramatically when the Sith Empire came to her home planet. Having fallen into slavery for a crime that she did not commit, the girl thought that she was doomed to eke out an insignificant existence for the rest of her days. But everything changes again when the Power is revealed in the little thief. Rissa is forcibly sent to the Sith Academy, where she will face many dangers, the main of which are the mentors themselves, who do not want to see “rabble” in the imperial high caste.
