The close orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh's hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict - and now threatens to consume surrounding systems. The last hope for peace emerges when heirs from the two planets’ royal families plan to marry. But then, an assassination attempt targeting the couple tilts Eiram and E’ronoh back into all-out war. To save both worlds, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai volunteers to uncover the culprit, while Chancellor Kyong appoints her son, Axel Greylark, to represent the Republic’s interests in the investigation. But Axel’s deep distrust of the Jedi sparks against Gella’s faith in the Force. The more they work to untangle the shadowy web of the investigation, the more complicated the conspiracy appears to be. The pair will have to work together to have any hope of bringing the truth to light and saving both worlds.
