Still haunted by the events in Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader must set aside his past and put his future on hold for a mission to the mysterious Ghost Nebula. His goal is to locate--and if possible, rescue--a missing Imperial expeditionary force. But what seems a perfect opportunity to lose himself in his duty is complicated by two factors: he is paired with a willful yet highly competent co-commander, and the officer they are being sent to locate...

Darth Vader steps up his attacks when his invasion of the Ghost Nebula meets with stiff resistance. But when a courageous beauty offers her help in conquering the system, things change. Vader has visions of what his life might have been if he had not betrayed the Jedi and if Padmé was still alive. These visions are affecting the dark lord's decisions. Can he keep to the mission?
