Ahsoka Tano: Strongest Force Wielder

The duel is over. Darth Vader walks away from the burning Sith temple on Malachor, and Ahsoka Tano is left behind, sealed in the dark, hunted by the Empire, and written off by the galaxy. But the forces of darkness have a plan for her: not to break her, but to build her. Three ancient Sith shades craft her a new saber from their own three blades, promise her power beyond any Jedi, and set her one task - retrieve the special crystals that will restore their bodies to life.

She tells herself she is only playing along.

Then her eyes turn yellow.

Trained in Sith magic and tempered by trials that would kill any ordinary wielder, Tano grows into something the galaxy has no name for: the strongest force wielder of her age. Kanan sees it and recoils. Yoda sees it and grieves. And when she finally stands before master Yoda on Dagobah, even he must admit what she has become - strong, powerful, and dangerous.

The Empire wants her dead. Sidious wants her to die in agony. Vader wants her on her knees. Inquisitors bar her path through a stormed palace; storm troopers patrol the docks of Mos Eisley; and the bounty hunter Dengar takes a five hundred thousand credit contract to bring back her head. Tano answers with a captured VT-49 Decimator rebuilt into a monster - a prototype hyperdrive, a sideways shift through hyperspace, a search drone watching her camp, and a restored B2 super battle droid at her side. The hunter becomes the hunted, packed into a cargo hold beside the scooter he came on.

She does not run the fight anymore. She ends it.

Beside her stands Ken, an engineer swept out of Coruscant University into the secret projects of Sienar Fleet Systems, whose talent for impossible modifications turns her stolen ship into a legend. Together they dodge Imperial watch lists, outfly bounty hunters, outwit Sienar security, and carve a road from the cantinas of Tatooine to the plains of Dantooine - straight toward the confrontation the whole galaxy has been waiting for.

Because Tano is done hiding. She calls out Darth Vader himself and settles their duel once and for all, blade against blade in the shadow of the temple where her old life ended. This time she does not fall. This time, Vader begs.

But mercy is a weapon too, and the most dangerous choice in the galaxy is not whether to kill Darth Vader - it is what to do with Anakin Skywalker once you have won. The dark side wants them as partners in crime. The light demands balance. And Ahsoka Tano, strongest force wielder in the stars, must decide which side of the force has truly claimed her.

A Star Wars adventure of fall and defiance: high-speed chases, saber duels, bounty hunts, temple trials, and a hero powerful enough to scare both sides of the force.
