Plot
The story begins in Ossus, at the ruins of Jedi Academy. Cade Skywalker, after ingesting several death sticks, had visions of his ancestors, Mara Jade and Anakin Skywalker, and the latter morphed into Darth Vader and dueled him. Vader warned him of the perils of falling to the dark side and scolded him on his lack of control. His ancestor was then blown away as Cade was found by the Whiphid Jedi Master K'Kruhk, a one-time teacher of Cade, who healed his mental trauma. The other Jedi, Wolf Sazen and Shado Vao, then arrived as well.

Meanwhile, Cade's companions, Jariah Syn and Deliah Blue, are heading to the space pirate Rav's headquarters, Crimson Axe, on the planet Socorro, where they're to receive a new assignment. However, they are led into a trap by Rav himself, and suddenly encounter the Imperial Moff Nyna Calixte, who is interrogating the two bounty hunters after their collaboration with Cade Skywalker. Shocked at being betrayed by Rav himself, Deliah and Jariah remain silent. They are then tortured by Calixte and taken to Coruscant.

Cade then asked Sazen to complete his training. Sazen accepted, and Cade began his training again under the tutelage of both Sazen and K'Kruhk. While K'Kruhk notes that Cade is very close to the dark side of the Force and considers his training to be questionable, Sazen explains that his training is important since only Cade Skywalker commands the Jedi Order scattered across the galaxy could reunite. During a lightsaber practice session with Vao, they both fell into a repository of priceless Jedi artifacts, whereupon they were attacked by two Yuuzhan Vong, Liaan Lah and Choka Skell.

Master Shaper Nei Rin ordered her two Vong bodyguards to cease their attack on the two Jedi. Rin, once a friend of Kol and the leader of the terraforming project on Ossus, revealed herself as the keeper of the Jedi artifacts left on Ossus after the massacre, and claimed that Cade should become their keeper, but Cade, who doesn't think much of tradition, refused to take Rin's offer. Cade is upset because he is remembering his father's death again, which he constantly tries to cover up with hallucinogenic drugs. When Master Sazen tries to talk to Cade, a fight ensues between the two, in which Sazen manages to bring his student back to his senses.

On Sazen's advice, Cade meditates and confronts his past. In his mind's eye he was once more visited by Luke Skywalker, who informs him that the Jedi Hosk Trey'lis is in terrible agony because of Cade's actions. Cade feels guilty, and believing he abandoned his father shortly before his death, wants to free Trey'lis from Darth Krayt's captivity lest another Jedi die from his failure. As Cade prepared to leave for Coruscant, Rin gave him his father's lightsaber, and K'Kruhk gave him the astromech droid, R2-D2, a loyal friend and companion to the Skywalker family since the Clone Wars, to serve aboard his ship.
