Publisher's summary

"THE BLADE BEHIND THE CURTAIN" For decades, no figure has stood as close to the EMPEROR with so much mystery surrounding her. Who is the UMBARAN? What is her role within the EMPIRE and in the WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS? And what happens when she emerges from the darkness to challenge Darth Vader himself? Featuring an unprecedented look at the inner workings of the Emperor's inner circle – and the return of IG-88!

Plot summary

DARTH VADER WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS: The Blade Behind the Curtain After Exegol, Darth Vader understands the true might of the Emperor's power. Vader must destroy Luke Skywalker, the one threat to his restored position. But others scheme in the shadows, and the dangerous Crimson Dawn syndicate rises to challenge the galactic power structure. Vader brought Bokku the Hutt to heel and foiled an assassination attempt by IG-88. Who hired the deadly droid to kill Darth Vader?
