Star Wars Visions Ronin

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale, an original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology. The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire. Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith. The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire . . . but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence. Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side. As the galaxy's perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life.

Una novela al estilo japonés sobre un misterioso sith errante. Los jedi son los sirvientes más leales del Imperio. Hace dos décadas, los clanes jedi, al servicio de los señores feudales, se enfrentaron. Asqueados de este ciclo sin final, una secta de jedi se rebeló con la intención de recuperar el control de su destino y su poder y de dejar de servir a este o a aquel amo. Se hacían llamar «sith». La rebelión de los sith fracasó por culpa de las traiciones y de las luchas internas y los señores, que antaño habían sido rivales, se unieron para crear un Imperio. No obstante, ni siquiera un Imperio en paz está libre de la violencia. Lejos de la frontera del Borde Exterior, un antiguo sith viaja acompañado únicamente por un droide leal y el fantasma de una era menos civilizada. Aunque empuña una espada láser, asegura que no pertenece a ningún clan jedi y que no rinde pleitesía a ningún señor. Poco se sabe de él, ni siquiera su nombre, porque nunca habla ni de su pasado... ni de aquello de lo que se arrepiente. Su historia está tan guardada como su arma, una destructiva espada roja que lleva siempre envainada. El perpetuo ciclo de violencia de la galaxia no deja de interrumpir su exilio autoimpuesto y, en un momento dado, cuando se ve obligado a enfrentarse en duelo a una bandida que asegura ser sith, se da cuenta de que no importa adónde vaya... jamás será capaz de dejar atrás los espectros de su vida anterior.
