Publisher's summary
''On the planet Tython, the ancient Je'daii Order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force—and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.''

''Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key—risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je’daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved—and whose life she must now fear.''

Plot summary
Je'daii Ranger Lanoree Brock is tasked by the Je'daii Council to stop her own brother, Dalien Brock, who had been presumed dead earlier. Dalien, who had never wanted to be a Je'daii Ranger, and who abhorred the Force, plans to activate a bomb that will create a black hole that could potentially destroy the Tython system; he wants to do this because he believes that it will allow the inhabitants of the system to expand outward throughout the galaxy. Lanoree travels throughout the Tython system, searching for her brother, with the help of a Twi'lek rogue named Tre Sana. By the end of the novel, Lanoree tracks Dalien back to Tython itself where he plans to activate the bomb. She stops him by killing him with her sword, but she is left with not only the question of whether or not Dalien was right to pursue this, but with regret of killing her own brother.
