By discovering what happened to Revan after the events of “Knights of the Old Republic,” readers also learn who the Emperor was during the time of the Old Republic, where he came from, and how he managed to rule for so long…
Something is stirring. Ruthless evil is making an effort to crush the Republic. Only a lone Jedi, an outcast who has brought dishonor upon himself, can stop it.
Revan is a hero, a traitor, a villain, and a savior. A Jedi who once left Coruscant to defeat the Mandalorians and returned as a champion of the Dark Side, determined to destroy the Republic. The Jedi Council spared Revan’s life, but the price of redemption is high—his memories were erased. All that remains for him are nightly nightmares and a strong, relentless fear.
So what happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t remember, but he also can’t completely forget. Somehow he stumbles upon a terrible secret that threatens the Republic itself. He has no idea what it is—or how to stop it. It’s quite possible that he will fall in this struggle, because he has never before faced so powerful and cruel an enemy. But only death can prevent him from fighting.
