The novel begins immediately after the ending of " " , with Luke and Ben Skywalker surrounded over Dathomir by the Sith fleet summoned by Vestara Khai , their Sith prisoner . The Sith commander , High Lord Sarasu Taalon , sends a message to discuss a truce with the Jedi . He proposes that the Sith and the Skywalkers work together to destroy the malignant Force entity known as Abeloth , who is causing the Force psychosis plaguing the young Jedi Knights back on Coruscant , as well the Sith ' s own apprentices . Vestara ' s father , Gavar , asks to come aboard , and Luke reluctantly agrees . Once Gavar is aboard , Luke lets Vestara and her father use his room for a private chat , but uses recording devices planted there to eavesdrop . Nevertheless , the Khais speak in the Keshiri language as an added precaution . Gavar reveals to Vestara that the Sith apprentices are just fine and that the lie was merely a means to convince Luke of their mutual interest in destroying Abeloth . He also senses that Vestara has developed feelings for Ben , and encourages her to pursue them ; at worst he ' s a source for information and at best she may turn him to the dark side of the Force . Vestara agrees , thrilled at the prospect of having Ben join the Sith . As they leave Luke ' s room , the Jedi Master finds them and agrees to assist the Sith in destroying Abeloth . However , he refuses to let Vestara rejoin the Sith just yet ; begrudgingly , her father accepts this and they decide to head to Klatooine ; the closest supply point leading back to the Maw . Meanwhile , Luke begins having dreams of his late wife , Mara , luring him to the Maw . On Coruscant , Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala faces mounting criticism of her heavy - handed attempts to suppress the Jedi . In order to dispel the growing assertions that she is another Palpatine , she dismisses Nawara Ven and the Jedi Court to show that she will not treat the Jedi any different from other people . As Tahiri Veila ' s court date approaches , Jaina Solo asks her fiancé Jagged Fel to try to get Tahiri a lawyer who has a chance at clearing her name . Jag , though reluctant to interfere in Galactic Alliance politics , agrees . On Klatooine , Luke calls Lando Calrissian and asks if he can borrow an old starship of his that can assist in guiding him and the Sith fleet through the Maw . Lando agrees to help him , but tells Luke it would take him a week or two to get the ship ready . Luke then contacts C - 3PO and sends him a recording of the conversation Vestara had with her father and asks him to translate it . Threepio , thrilled that someone actually commed him , begins translation attempts at once . Ben and Vestara meanwhile are sent down to the planet ' s surface with one of their scouts from Dathomir , Jedi - washout Dyon Stadd . While there , Dyon falls victim to Abeloth ' s Force - psychosis and steals a speeder and heads for a sacred landmark known as the Fountain of Hutt Ancients . Ben and Vestara manage to stop Dyon before he can desecrate the Fountain ( no technology is allowed near it ) , but all three of them are arrested by the Klatooine police . Luke comes to bail them out with Gavar and recover their afflicted ally , and is disturbed with Vestara ' s flirtations with Ben , just as Gavar is with the harmless connection between the two of them , though Vestara convinces him that it is simply a way to trick Ben . The Klatooinians agree to hand Ben , Vestara and Dyon over , stating they don ' t have the facilities to hold Jedi . Once back on their ship with an immobilized Dyon , Luke warns Ben that Vestara can ' t be trusted . Ben , furious , storms off to his room . Back on Coruscant , the Jedi Temple is once again attacked by Mandalorian mercenaries under Daala ' s orders to recover two recently afflicted Jedi , Sothais Saar and Turi Altamik , and to block the Jedi ' s attempts to launch a fleet to assist Luke . Kenth Hamner ' s assistant , a young Jedi girl named Kani Asari , is brutally gunned down by the leader of the Mandalorian mercenaries , Belok Rhal in broad daylight . Han and Leia Organa Solo , watching the scene on the HoloNet , manage to sneak medication in through the substructure of the Jedi Temple attached to small animals in order to keep the crazed Jedi sedated . Wynn Dorvan , Daala ' s chief of staff , realizes that , shortly , Raynar Thul would be heading outside the Temple for his lunch break . Dorvan rushes to the temple and manages to stop the Mandalorians from gunning him down as well , and then the two of them take Asari ' s body back into the Temple . It is during this time that Jaina , realizing how often she asks Jag to bend or break the rules for her , decides to call off their engagement as their careers will always get in the way . She leaves a stunned Jag and rushes off to help her uncle . Meanwhile , Hamner refuses to openly move against Daala because he has made a secret deal with Admiral Nek Bwua ' tu , who promises to get Daala off the Jedi ' s backs . Over Klatooine , C - 3PO presents a rough translation to Luke which confirms his suspicions that the Sith were lying to him and that Vestara is intentionally manipulating his son . He shows the recording to Ben , which leaves him feeling humiliated , though he is still attracted to Vestara . Lando arrives with his starship , the " Rockhound " , and Luke and most of the Sith fleet head back to Sinkhole Station . Some Sith are ordered to stay behind in order to relay messages ; however , they also have orders to take samples of the Fountain structure as it is made of some super - strong material . This causes the planet ' s populace to erupt into anarchy as the Fountain is desecrated . Jaina and Lando are asked by the Klatooine elders to act as judges to determine who should be held liable for the incident : the Sith for desecrating the Fountain , or the Hutts for failing to protect it , as was their promise in the Treaty of Vontor about twenty - five thousand years earlier . Jaina and Lando reach their verdict and declare that the Sith are to blame , and the Klatooinian elders promptly sentence those who desecrated the Fountain to execution , namely Captain Vyn Holpur and his crew . However , because of the riots resulting from the incident , it appears unlikely that the Hutts can regain control of the planet , and thus , lose a large accumulation of slaves . This prompts the outbreak of multiple anti - slavery movements across the galaxy that are supported by the underground organization known as the Freedom Flight . These movements compound the criticisms of Daala for her persecution of the Jedi . During the voyage to Sinkhole Station , a handful of Sith ships are destroyed , and Luke is shocked to find that the station itself has been destroyed , leading him to believe it was definitely keeping Abeloth in check . With Vestara ' s help , they manage to land on Abeloth ' s planet , and go Beyond shadows to find and kill Abeloth herself . Luke manages to contact Mara from Beyond Shadows , telling her that he has finally responded to his dreams of her calling him to the Maw , but she tells him that she never contacted him . Luke now knows that he has been set up , and he and the Sith leave Beyond Shadows ( albeit with the loss of one of the Sith ' s numbers in Leeha Faal , who sunk into the Depths of Eternity ) to find Abeloth in the real world . Meanwhile , as part of a sabotage attempt against Abeloth , Vestara reawakens Dyon and assists in his escape . He makes his way to Abeloth , who nearly kills him by feeding off of his life force . Luke and the others find Dyon , as Vestara had let him go so that they can track him in the Force , and Dyon is relieved that he has come back to his senses ; he states that everyone around him still feels " wrong " but he knows that they are not imposters . Luke and the Sith confront Abeloth , and he is shocked when her human appearance is that of Luke ' s long lost love , Callista Ming , who left him decades earlier in order to find a way to reconnect with the Force . At first , Luke believes that Abeloth " is " Callista , but soon understands that Abeloth actually killed Callista and absorbed her life force years ago , resulting in Abeloth possessing Callista ' s memories and appearance . During a vicious battle with Abeloth ( in which Gavar tried to attack Luke but failed due to the intervention of a furious Ben ) , Luke manages to overpower and eventually kill the monster despite her tricks to mislead him . With Abeloth ' s death the Force illness affecting the Jedi Knights Cilghal ' s custody is lifted . Luke and Ben return to Lando ' s starship and are surprised to see Jaina waiting for them ; she informs them of the siege on the Jedi Temple and the new development that Kenth Hamner and a number of senior Jedi now have out - standing warrants for their arrest . In the meantime , the alliance between the Jedi and Sith remains in force , if only to discover more about Abeloth ' s nature by studying her corpse . Meanwhile , now free from Abeloth ' s control , Ship escapes from a dogfight with Jaina ' s StealthX X - wing starfighter , which results in Jaina nearly being killed when Ship destroys one of her engines . Ship then goes into hyperspace while Jaina is saved by Lando . Daala and her secret lover , Nek Bwua ' tu , meet for dinner where Bwua ' tu intends to persuade her to call the siege off , but before he can do so , he decides that it would be a useless gesture , considering her anti - Jedi rant to him . Sometime later , he leaves her apartment and is accosted by two apparently crazed Jedi . After realizing that they are not Jedi ( because if they were Jedi determined to kill him , he would already be dead ) he manages to kill one with a shot to the head ; however , the body falls on top of him , driving the lightsaber still clenched in his hand into Bwua ' tu ' s torso . The novel ends with Tahiri ' s trial , which at first appeared to be going in her favor thanks to her lawyer , Eramuth Bwua ' tu , ( the Admiral ' s uncle ) . However , it takes a turn for the worst when a recording of Gilad Pellaeon ' s murder is played onto the record . With that , she believes that all is lost for her . Behind the scenes . There are several spelling mistakes throughout the novel . For instance , Kyp Durron ' s surname is erroneously spelled as " Durran " multiple times , and on page 341 , Gilad Pellaeon ' s surname is erroneously spelled " Pallaeon . " Also , Dyon Stadd ' s surname is spelled " Stad " throughout the entire novel . On page 149 Allana was misspelled as " Alanna . " Additionally , during a description of slavery on Vinsoth , Chev and Chevin get mixed up , only to be corrected later in the passage . At least once each , the plural of Sith and Jedi are incorrectly rendered " Siths " and " Jedis . " In the novel Luke Skywalker contemplates it was two years since Mara Jade Skywalker ' s death , when in fact it was four years since she was killed . In chapter 14 there is incorrect part where it is said Chev s have enslaved the Chevins , when in fact it is exactly opposite way . In chapter 15 Allana says she just turned eight , but she was already eight years old in novel . In chapter 17 it appears Sith frigate " Starstalker " has other ship inside — some unknown light freighter piloted by Vyn Holpur himself for the mission , yet when approaching one kilometers forbidden zone , same light freighter change name back to " Starstalker " as unidentified Sith skiff emerge from inside . In chapter 18 hyperdrive is mistaken for hyperspace . One of Leia ' s lines delivered as she , Han and Allana relax in their safehouse is credited to Daala . The book also refers a couple of times to Luke apprehending Vestara in the Maw Cluster . This , of course , did not happen . They battled there but she escaped and did not become his hostage until the Sith completed their capture of the Nightsisters on Dathomir . This novel officially ends the Force psychosis story arc of the series , even though it would still carry on with the Horn siblings in " " . In that novel , they would be the final Jedi to be cured of that illness after Luke Skywalker confronts Abeloth on Nam Chorios .
