Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker

Decades before Star Wars: The Acolyte, this 304-page novel follows Vernestra Rwoh as she must rediscover her place within the Jedi Order. Vernestra has spent years roaming the Outer Rim as a Wayseeker, answering only to the Force. When the Jedi Council orders her to return to Coruscant, she ignores the summons, prompting the Council to dispatch Jedi Knight Indara to deliver a formal request from a Republic senator. Intrigued, Vernestra returns and is drawn into Coruscant's tangled web of politics and crime. The two differ greatly: Vernestra, a battle-scarred master, and Indara, a young Knight coming into her own in a galaxy at peace. Trust grows slowly as they clash over serving the Jedi Order, the galaxy, and the Force. Together, they pursue a trail of dangerous weapons threatening the Republic, testing loyalties and forcing Vernestra to redefine what it means to serve for Light and Life.
