Synopsis:
A Jedi ambush leaves the Sith ship Omen marooned
on a remote alien world, its survivors at the mercy of
their desolate surroundings and facing almost certain
death. But Sith will no more bow before the whims of
fate than they will yield to the weapons of their
enemies. And Omen's cunning commander Yaru Korsin
will let nothing keep him and his crew from returning to
the stars and rejoining the Sith order's conquest of the
galaxy. Murdering his own brother has proven Korsin's
ruthless resolve -- but now an entire race stands in his
way.
The primitive, superstitious Keshiri worship unseen gods
called the Skyborn, shun science, and punish unbelievers
with death. Branded a heretic the widowed young
geologist Adari Vaal is running for her life. Among the
mysterious Sith castaways she finds powerful sanctuary
-- and her saviors find the means of survival. With
Adari as their willing pawn, the Skyborn as their Trojan
horse, and the awesome power of the dark side of the
Force at their command, the lost tribe of the Omen
set out to subjugate a planet and its people -- and lay
the foundation for a merciless new Sith nation.
