The fate of the Chiss Ascendancy hangs in the balance in the epic conclusion to the Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy by bestselling author Timothy Zahn. For thousands of years, the Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. Under the leadership of the Nine Ruling Families, their leadership stands as a barrier of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions.

But this stability has been eroded by a cunning enemy who undermines trust and loyalty equally. Bonds of allegiance have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy is coming ever closer to civil war.

The Chiss are no strangers to war. Their mythical status in the Chaos has been attained through conflict and formidable deeds, some of which are deeply buried. Until now. To ensure the Ascendancy’s future, Thrawn will delve into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascendancy of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family’s legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend proves to be a lie.

To ensure the Ascendancy's salvation, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything? Including the only home he has ever known?
