Book Synopsis

The thrilling opening act of Phase III of the High Republic Adventures comics saga is collected here! Join heroes from across the galaxy as they fight for freedom from the Nihil's reign!

One year after the fall of Starlight Beacon, the High Republic is in peril!

Marchion Ro and his Nihil marauders continue to advance further into Republic space, leaving destruction in their wake. Meanwhile, the Jedi are kept at bay by terrifying Nameless creatures that prey on their connection to the Force.

But a growing movement seeks to free the galaxy from Ro's oppression!

On the planet Eriadu, Zeen Mrala and Jedi Knight Qort look for powerful allies to join the fight against the Nihil. In their search, they find evidence that their friends, presumed dead, may have survived the fall of Starlight Beacon! Who are the survivors, and where have they been all this time?

Meanwhile, Alys "Crash" Ongwa and her ragtag crew hunt down Nihil commanders on Corellia. But when Crash's mission leads her to the notorious Krix Kamerat, she joins forces with her enemy in the hopes of catching Marchion Ro! How far will Crash follow her vengeful path?

And behind the impenetrable barrier of the Stormwall, former Jedi Ty Yorrick is content to hunt monsters in exchange for credits galore. That is, until she stumbles upon a mission that forces her to take a stand against the Nihil and confront her troubled past!
