A new addition to the bestselling High Republic series! Set before Disney's smash-hit TV series THE ACOLYTE, this title tells the story of fan-favourite character Vernestra Rwoh.

SET IN THE ERA OF STAR WARS- THE HIGH REPUBLIC

Before The Acolyte, Vernestra Rwoh must find her place in the Jedi Order.

Vernestra Rwoh has spent over a decade exploring the Outer Rim as a Wayseeker, answering to no other authority but the Force itself. When a request from the Jedi Council orders her back to Coruscant, Vernestra initially refuses, feeling that her first priority should be to the beings she's already serving.

But after Jedi Master Indara arrives to ask for Vernestra's aid in person, Vernestra finds herself pulled back into Coruscant's complicated world of Republic politics and underworld crime. As the two delve further into their investigation, and the lines between Jedi and Republic business blur, and Vernestra must reconsider what it means to serve for Light and Life.
