THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERAn 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.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 Aveross,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 which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before,or be divided forever.
