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!

Great book, could not put it down. And for ppl that don't know this set 300 years after Revan's era. Read this while playing Star Wars the old republic and cleared some things up.

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....

Such a compelling piece of the back story to the Old Republic. It has fascinating characters with depth to them. Not to mention a great look at the complexities of Sith and Jedi with their inner turmoils as well as their respective military counterparts.
