In the shadows of an Empire, an ancient flame is reignited.
Long before the rise of Darth Vader, before the Clone Wars and the fall of the Jedi Order, a young Padawan named Kael Taran vanished during the cataclysmic wars against the Sith Empire. Presumed lost to time, he awakens in a galaxy that has long forgotten the Jedi... but not their enemies.
Thrust into a new era where the Force is hunted, not honored, Kael must navigate a fractured rebellion, forge uncertain alliances, and confront a legacy he never expected to carry. Haunted by memories of a lost age and the burden of survival, he is no longer a boy of the Order-but he may become something more.
A relic of the past.
A warrior of the present.
A spark for the future.
The Force is not done with Kael Taran.
