Summary
In the pristine capital of the New Republic, secrets are buried beneath white marble and polished bureaucracy. When a low-level clerk with high-level access is found dead in the Botanical Gardens, Padawan Kaelen Voss is sent to conduct what should be a straightforward trial of intuition.
He expects a lesson in diplomacy; instead, he finds a "cold spot" in the Force that tastes of old shadows and an unstable crimson blade.
Supported from afar by the Academy's golden son, Ben Solo, Kaelen must navigate a city that doesn't want its peace disturbed. But when a silent predator begins hunting the city's archivists and Kaelen’s only lifeline to his mentor is shattered, the test becomes a struggle for survival. Beneath the ivory towers of Hanna City, something ancient is waking up, and Kaelen is the only one standing between the Republic's future and a thief in the dark.
