Ale nový boj právě začíná… Ahsoka Tano, kdysi loajální Jedi a učednice Anakina Skywalkera, chtěla původně strávit zbytek života službou v řádu Jedi.

Uchýlí se na odlehlou planetu, kde se spřátelí s mladou ženou Kaeden a zařídí si život po svém. Jenže Ahsoka nemůže uniknout své minulosti ani dosahu Impéria. Poté, co planetu obsadí imperiální jednotky, rozhodne se zapojit do odboje – i když tím riskuje odhalení své pravé totožnosti. Její volba bude mít zničující důsledky pro ty, kdo jsou jí blízcí… a povedou ji k nové naději pro galaxii.
