[Star Wars: Darth Bane 02] • La Règle Des Deux (An -1000)

In the New York Times bestseller Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Drew

Karpyshyn painted a gripping portrait of a young mans journey from innocence

to evil. That man was Darth Bane, a twisted genius whose iron will, fierce

ambition, and strength in the dark side of the Force 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 he 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.

But there is one who is determined to stop Darth Bane: Johun Othone, Padawan

to Jedi Master Lord Hoth, who died at Banes hands in the last great Sith War.

Though the rest of the Jedi scoff at him, Joshuas belief that there are

surviving Sith on the loose is unshakeable.

As Johun continues his dogged pursuit of the man who killed his master,

Zannah, faced unexpectedly with a figure from her past, begins to question her

embrace of the dark side. And Darth Bane is led by Force-induced visions to a

moon where he will acquire astonishing new knowledge and power, power that

will alter him in ways he could never have imagined. . . .
