In this pivotal prequel to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the heroes of the Resistance-Poe Dameron, General Leia Organa, Rey, and Finn-must fight back from the edge of oblivion. The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa-their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia's last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered. 

From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy.

In the mythological Western mining town of Goetia, half-demon/half-Virtue Celeste's life is upended when her younger half-sister is arrrested for the murder of a Virtue. Determined to save her sister and prove her innocence, Celeste turns to her former lover, Abraxas, a former general in the armies of Hell, for help.

Soon Celeste is making her own deals with devils and angels alike to prove her sister's innocence. But in a world divided between Fallen and Virtuous, who can be trusted is never clear, and the journey to discover the truth threatens to become more than Celeste bargained for.
