But when time and opportunities run short, it falls to Ro Arhen, Jedi investigator and fledgling commander, and her clone partner, to do what no one believes they can: save the day.

An Imperial R&D technician steals a prototype fighter and escapes a top secret facility. A young slave girl grapples with her growing connection with the Force, yet seeks to find path that is neither light, nor dark. Both are fugitives; from Empire and New Republic and Jedi and Sith alike.
