When Lady Qi'ra sends two killers -- the relentless, Force-blinded Ochi of Bestoon and the mysterious, unstoppable Deathstick -- to do what they do best, how will the Rebel Alliance and the Empire react to this new galactic power player? As Darth Vader hunts for anyone connected to Crimson Dawn, Luke Skywalker seeks the next step on his path to becoming a Jedi Master -- and, as ever, Doctor Aphra looks to take advantage of the chaos. But with the galaxy teetering on the brink of an all-out crime war, an elite squad of bounty hunters is running out of time to save the one young girl who can stop the conflict!
