Get an exclusive look at Chapter 4 of 'The High Republic: Path of Deceit,' the upcoming starwars novel by justinaireland and tessagratton.
At the start of 2015, a spark was lit within the Star Wars publishing world as the first wave of novels arrived set within the height of the High Republic era, when the Jedi were at their strongest. But that strength came to crumbling ruination when they came up against the fierce anarchist Nihil, led by Marchion Ro, who sought to dismantle not only the Jedi but the entire Galactic Republic, who they saw as encroachers in the largely uncolonized Outer Rim.
The Hynestian queen had been furious to have her rod stolen and demanded the aid of the Jedi, but the culprits hadn’t left anything behind. They’d been in and out with surprising ease, given the security of the palace. The theft had taken place during a time when many different groups of people had visited the capital city, more than usual thanks to a local festival.
Most of the planets they visited had their own sentient indigenous populations, but nothing like that ever evolved on Dalna, and the planet had been settled off and on in a remarkably haphazard way. Probably thanks to the unstable belt of super volcanoes basically ringing the whole planet. She tilted her head in inquiry, and he nodded: he was ready. He reached out and hit the lever to open the skiff.
As they headed into town, Kevmo took in everything he could while Zallah drifted at his side. The streets were full of people from all over the galaxy. Kevmo recognized many species—Mon Calamari, human, Chagrian, a family of Grans, and even a Wookiee very far from home—but there were several people totally strange to him.
Zallah studied him for a moment, then said, “Remember the difference between trusting your feelings and enthusiastically expressing them.” He wanted to stop in the middle of the market, sur- rounded by all that chaos and life, and just plop down to meditate. The Force thrummed around him: Kevmo was fairly certain he could vibrate with it if he closed his eyes and let go. The Force was so brilliant, just like the suns blazing overhead, and it was noisy with light and life.
An introduction stuck to Kevmo’s tongue as he studied her, feeling even warmer than before. His lips parted, but none of his usual easy conversation fell out. He wanted to— Her pretty mouth turned down. Her deep black eyes were incredible, even when she was concerned. Kevmo could see the light in them still, and the sweep of darker gray shading back toward her slightly scalloped ears. He had no idea what her people were. She was entirely new to him. And he didn’t want to believe she was a thief. He stood, holding her gaze as he reclipped his lightsaber on his belt. “My name is Kevmo Zink,” he said. “I just landed on Dalna.
