About This Book

The sharp crackle of starship engines fills the air as Grand Admiral Thrawn stands on the bridge, eyes fixed on the swirling cosmos beyond. Every decision echoes with the weight of entire planets, and the scent of burning metal hints at battles yet to come. In a galaxy where loyalty is tested and secrets loom like distant stars, Thrawn must choose between two worlds—and the choice could change everything.
