In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, the second in the Darth Bane trilogy, the fearsome Sith lord takes on a deadly new apprentice.
Darth  Bane's twisted genius made him a natural leader among the Sith-until  his radical embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy  his own order . . . and create it anew from the ashes. As the last  surviving Sith, Darth Bane promulgated a harsh new directive: the Rule  of Two.
Two there should be; no more, no less.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.
Now  Darth Bane is ready to put his policy into action and thinks he has  found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to  train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah  possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals his own. With  his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the  Jedi and dominate the galaxy.
