About this ebook

In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, the second in the Darth Bane trilogy, the fearsome Sith lord takes on a deadly new apprentice.

Darth Bane’s twisted genius made him a natural leader among the Sith–until his radical embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy his own order . . . and create it anew from the ashes. As the last surviving Sith, Darth Bane promulgated a harsh new directive: the Rule of Two.

Two there should be; no more, no less.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.

Now Darth Bane is ready to put his policy into action and thinks he has found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals his own. With his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the Jedi and dominate the galaxy.

Ratings and reviews

The first book was good. I enjoyed it aside from my biggest issue. its 100% worse in thus one. the author won't get to the point! let's ramble and ramble about insignificant stuff. make a chapter about literally nothing to do with rest of the book. its like reading a YouTube streamer talk for over 30 mins about a tree in a game. the tree has nothing to do with it. like I'm rambling here... going on and on and on... could have done a three books in one with out the rambling

just finished the trilogy. this second installment is dark, incredibly dark. the author pulls few punches here and shows us a side of Star Wars that really isn't explored all that much with almost zero compromise for the sake of established tone. this is dark fantasy at it's finest.

Great second part to the trilogy. Absolutely addictive to read and can't wait to complete the third novel and complete this fantastic saga!
