Four and a half years since Order 66. Since the Republic fell and was born anew as the Empire under Palpatine, a sith Lord. Since the Jedi were massacred by their own men and any remaining hunted down like vermin.

Any remaining Jedi have gone underground and changed. They'd not seen the truth. The truth right in front of their eyes.

There is no light or dark. There is only the Force.

Those who survived and hardened, becoming what is needed as they now know how easily the Jedi were fooled during the Clone Wars.

Maul has not seen a Jedi since Janix, nor since Devon left him. Not that it matters, it doesn't matter that she left. What matters is keeping his Shadow Collective and connection to the other crime Lords running smoothly. But something has been nagging at him. The Force prickling at the back of his neck.....as if someone specific is close by.

But who? And, more importantly, why?
