NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future in the first canon Star Wars novel to take place before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi’s most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn’t Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council—knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master.

When Jedi Rael Averross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the royal court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon’s mind. As Qui-Gon’s faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan’s faith in him is tested—just as a threat surfaces that will demand that Master and apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

I read a lot of books, but ever since I started hearing how good the narration is and production value on audible, I prefer the audio versions now. Johnathan Davis sounds IDENTICAL to the characters of the film counterparts. This book is simply amazing. Great job to Claudia Gray and Mr. Davis.

A Masterpiece

Book flows easy and is very entertaining. But the narrator is absolutely brilliant. He did such a good job.

Good book, GREAT narration

Claudia Gray illustrates once more why she's my favorite Star Wars author by weaving core canon elements into her story in seemingly contradictory, original and ultimately satisfying ways. Meanwhile, Jonathan Davis excels with his narration giving well known characters authentic voices, original characters distinction and tops it off with music and sound effects that help it all feel like a Star Wars story.
