Book description
The Sith are gone -- all except Darth Bane, creator of the "Rule
of Two," which states that the new Sith Order will consist of
only two: a Master and an apprentice. But how does one train an
apprentice whose ultimate goal -- and proof of success -- must be to
kill the Master?
Darth Bane is beginning to suffer the effects of drawing heavily on
the dark side of the Force for so many years. At the same time, he's
beginning to doubt his apprentice, Zannah, because she hasn't yet
tried to kill him and take his power. Is she weak? Unworthy of being
his apprentice?
When he learns of an ancient Sith holocron that holds the secret to
immortal life, he sends Zannah off on a mission and heads out to
search for the holocron on his own. But Zannah is anything but weak,
and now that she guesses his doubts, she decides the time is right to
take him on.
The Forces of evil will clash in spectacular battle, with the future
of the Sith hanging in the balance!
