Sal Perales

“This is Jedi Avar Kriss. Help is on the way.”

Avar Kriss

The Jedi do what they can to help those trapped behind the Stormwall. Marchion Ro searches out a new danger with his Nameless in tow. The Republic and Jedi put together a plan to free Naboo. And Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann are reunited and it feels so good!

Tessa Gratton brings us a story of loss, compassion, despair, and hope during The High Republic. And amidst the pain and suffering the Nihil spread, love unfolds. But will it bring happiness or pain?

SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD!

Song of Water

Elzar Mann and Avar Kriss have adapted to their new roles in this time of conflict. They reckon with their choices and their losses. Throughout their lives they’ve always been there for each other but could they be ready for something more?

And will those choices make them stronger or weaker?

Hidden Helpers

Cair San Tekka and his husband come through with information, supplies, and even refugees for their Jedi and Republic allies. But with Naboo occupied by General Viess, can the good guys slip through the Stormwall with enough of a fleet to liberate the people? And can a rogue San Tekka truly be trusted at all?

Searching the Starlight

Burryaga and Bell Zettifar are out on the border helping protect the people from Nihil threats. But something far more devastating is happening. When they come across the blight that has spread across multiple worlds Burry searches for a way to save the people and their homes.

Shadows and Dust

Marchion Ro also searches out the blight. Is he threatened? Or is he searching for a way to turn this emptiness into a weapon? Meanwhile, Ghirra Starros continues to work her diplomatic tactics on Coruscant. But she is up against Chancellor Lina Soh who is more than a worthy adversary. And all the while Baron Boolan has given Ro new and stronger Nameless creatures to eradicate any and all Jedi opposition.

Bits and Pieces

The High Republic storytelling continues to be among the best Star Wars stories ever told. Tessa Gratton explores the Jedi up against enemies who decimate hope across the galaxy. Not only that, but we have a Jedi love story! Two Jedi weighing their choices, desires, and destinies against their duties. The characters have been through hell and back and continue to strive for the light at the end of the tunnel. And just when you think things can’t get worse something new and devastating takes hold!

This is a must-read for any High Republic fan of light, life, and romance! All happening while Ro keeps the galaxy burning!
