Opening Crawl
''Guilt-ridden, Ulic Qel-Droma hides from his past on the frozen world of Rhen Var. He still has his lightsaber, but none of his former Jedi powers. While excavating an ice-locked fortress, Ulic is buried in an avalanche. Dying, he receives a vision of his fallen Master Arca Jeth, which gives him the strength to survive. But as he drags himself hurt and alone to shelter, Ulic wonders why he should live at all...''

''On Exis Station, Nomi Sunrider calls together the Jedi Knights to discuss the future of the Republic. One speaker, the bitter Cathar Sylvar, condemns the vanished war criminal Ulic Qel-Droma, who roams the galaxy, unpunished. The scavenger Hoggon, fascinated by anything relating to Jedi, finds a cozy hiding place where he can watch the convocation.''

''Nomi's young daughter Vima feels left out. Her mother is always too busy to train her as a Jedi. After hearing so much about Ulic and remembering him from her childhood, Vima decides to go in search of him. She stows away aboard Hoggon's ship, letting the Force take her wherever it will...''

''Sensing the simmering anger in Sylvar, Tott Doneeta invites her to join him in his cliff city on Ryloth. While there, Sylvar becomes embroiled in a Twi'lek clan war and nearly triggers the slaughter of an entire village, but Tott manages to stop the bloodshed in a peaceful way. Sylvar has too much fury inside of her and, ashamed, asks Tott to take her back to her homeworld of Cathar...''

''When Hoggon discovers Vima Sunrider on his ship, he is astounded to learn that the mysterious stranger he took to the Rhen Var is in fact Ulic himself. Vima convinces him to take her there. As Hoggan flies off, thrilled with the secret knowledge he has learned, Vima slogs up to the frozen fortress, hoping Ulic will welcome her...''
