In the aftermath of her victory over The Wraith, Rey has returned to the New Republic, but peace continues to elude her. Struggling with her own doubts and disconnected from the Force, Rey seeks solace in the ancient teachings of the Jedi, attempting to rebuild the Order. Yet, the shadow of The Wraith looms large as the former Jedi-Sith manipulator’s influence has not been eradicated. The Wraith, believed to be destroyed, is revealed to have been laying the groundwork for a new dark movement, using both the light and dark sides of the Force to craft an army of Force-sensitive followers who reject the Jedi and Sith alike. The Wraith believes the galaxy can only find true balance by eradicating both factions, and she will stop at nothing to see his new vision of the Force fulfilled. As Rey struggles to unite the Jedi and the Republic, she must confront not only the growing threat of The Wraith’s new order but also the deeper, more dangerous temptations of the dark side that begin to pull at her once again. In a race against time, Rey must decide whether to fully embrace the light, or walk the fine line between the two sides of the Force in order to stop the Wraith from reshaping the galaxy forever.
