If she is going to claim the power she craves, she must take action now. She knows that her ruthless Master has begun to doubt her, and she senses that he is hiding something crucial to her future. Determined that the Sith dream of galactic domination will not die with him, Bane vows to learn the secret of a forgotten Dark Lord that will assure the Sith's immortality–and his own.Ī perfect opportunity arises when a Jedi emissary is assassinated on the troubled mining planet Doan, giving Bane an excuse to dispatch his apprentice on a fact-finding mission–while he himself sets out in secret to capture the ancient holocron of Darth Andeddu and its precious knowledge. But Bane's acolyte, Zannah, has yet to engage her Master in mortal combat and prove herself a worthy successor. Twenty years have passed since Darth Bane, reigning Dark Lord of the Sith, demolished the ancient order devoted to the dark side and reinvented it as a circle of two: one Master to wield the power and pass on the wisdom, and one apprentice to learn, challenge, and ultimately usurp the Dark Lord in a duel to the death. ' If the dark side's most powerful master can capture the ultimate secret, the Sith will never die-and neither will Darth Bane.' Publisher's summary Hardcover Back cover
