Product Description

The mighty Sith dynasty founded on the planet Kesh by the survivors of the shipwrecked Omen has endured for a thousand years—and so has the merciless Sith code, which prizes power above all else. Lady Orielle Kitai enjoys power as the scion of a noble family and member of the elite Sith Sabers. But Lillia Venn, as reigning Grand Lord of the Sith, possesses absolute power . . . and is determined to keep it.                 When a failed regicide sparks a political—and literal—bloodbath and suspicion falls on Orielle, she is swiftly condemned to slavery by the ruthless Grand Lord Venn. But seeing the cunning power play for what it is, Orielle vows to strike back. And at the ramshackle home of a poor dirt farmer with an astounding secret, she discovers the means to make her vengeance a devastating reality.                 BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Vortex.

From the Author

The _Fate of the Jedi_ novels introduce readers to a hidden Sith society, living apart from the rest of the galaxy for five thousand years. But how did they come to be? _Lost Tribe of the Sith_ answers that question. Spanning millennia, this series of short stories introduces the original unlikely castaways -- and shows how their society was shaped.

The fifth episode, _Purgatory_ picks up the story a thousand years after the fourth chapter, _Lost Tribe of the Sith #4: __Savior_, left off. The Sith still rule on Kesh, but generations of infighting have led to a new class of disenfranchised humans, barred for life from the Lost Tribe. But no one who ever followed Sith philosophies is likely to accept life as a slave, no matter what the odds against them...

To follow the story of the Lost Tribe from the beginning, start with the first chapter,  _Lost Tribe of the Sith #1: Precipice._
