Two years have passed since the defeat of Darth Caedus, the former Jacen Solo. For a grieving Han and Leia, the shadow of their son's tragic downfall still looms large. But Jacen's own bright and loving daughter, Allana, offers a ray of hope for the future as she thrives in her grandparents' care. The eager, inquisitive and Force-strong girl makes a curious discovery aboard her grandfather's beloved spacecraft--the much-overhauled but ever-dependable Millennium Falcon. Allana's infectious desire to unravel its mystery launches the Solo family into a galaxywide cat-and-mouse game as they head for a fateful rendezvous on Coruscant--at the explosive height of the Republic/Separatist uprising.
