On the brink of disaster - a ray of hope! The impregnable stronghold of the New Republic - Coruscant - has fallen! The war-torn galaxy risks never rising from its knees again... But even in such a seemingly hopeless situation, there is room for a miracle: Jacen Solo is alive! However, he could not even imagine what awaits him... The young Jedi knight falls under the supervision of Verger - a mysterious creature whose true intentions are hidden under a veil of secrecy, and only one path is open - the path of cruelty. But the young Jedi can also learn a lot from the mysterious mentor: after all, in her hands is the key to a new understanding of the Force, a new level of its comprehension - dangerous, bright, deadly... If it falls into the wrong hands, this knowledge can become a devastating weapon. Meanwhile, there are others - besides Verger - who are closely monitoring Jacen's progress. They are waiting in the wings - the moment when they can lay claim to the Jedi. But no matter what happens, no matter what path Jacen chooses - light or dark - one thing is clear: he will never again be the same Jedi he was before...
