When Tomcat, a hot-headed young would-be Jedi, Rain, a sweet-natured, but force-less girl, and Bug, a thoughtful boy with the Jedi ability to talk with animals, are brought from their home planet to join the war of attrition against the Sith on the planet Ruusan, none of them know the destinies that await them...This thoughtful addition to the Star Wars series looks deep into the hearts of both Jedi and Sith, and, through the eyes of three very different children, examines the horrors and the politics of the Jedi's ceaseless war against their dark counterparts, 1,000 years before the events of Star Wars Episode IV!
