Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this gripping sequel to Star Wars: The Rising Storm, the light of the Jedi faces its darkest hour.

Time and again, the vicious raiders known as the Nihil have sought to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end. Time and again, the High Republic has emerged battered and weary but victorious thanks to its Jedi protectors—and there is no monument to their cause grander than the Starlight Beacon.

Hanging like a jewel in the Outer Rim, the Beacon embodies the High Republic at the apex of its aspirations: a hub of culture and knowledge, a bright torch against the darkness of the unknown, and an extended hand of welcome to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As survivors and refugees flee the Nihil’s attacks, the Beacon and its crew stand ready to shelter and heal.

The grateful Knights and Padawans of the Jedi Order stationed there finally have a chance to recover—from the pain of their injuries and the grief of their losses. But the storm they thought had passed still rages; they are simply caught in its eye. Marchion Ro, the true mastermind of the Nihil, is preparing his most daring attack yet—one designed to snuff out the light of the Jedi.

Editor's Pick

The Force is strong with this one
With January’s arrival comes a new entry into the dazzling High Republic series from the wildly talented Claudia Gray—my favorite writer in the Star Wars space. In The Fallen Star, Gray wields her knack for crafting and developing characters and the relationships between them in a way that feels real, sometimes devastatingly so: when our heroes face their darkest days, we’re along for the ride, sensing the ruthless looming of the marauding Nihil at each and every turn. It’s a stellar story that shimmers all the more in audio thanks to the legendary Marc Thompson, a gifted performer whose ability to develop distinct, pitch-perfect voices for a diverse cast of characters is on full display. If you, like me, can’t resist an emotionally attuned space opera that further explores new corners of a familiar universe, this gem (or, uh, kyber crystal?) is your next must-listen. —Alanna M., Audible Editor
