It's humankind versus a race of machines bent on harvesting organic life in this second official novel based on the BioWare video game.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

Doch dann entdeckt Bane eine Möglichkeit, unsterblich zu werden. Ist das die wahre Lösung für das Schicksal der Galaxis: die Herrschaft eines ewigen Sith-Lords?

Darth Bane besiegte nicht nur die Jedi, er vernichtete auch seinen eigenen Orden beinahe vollständig. Nun wird er aus der Asche etwas Besseres schaffen, etwas Stärkeres. Es wird einen Meister geben, der die Macht besitzt, und einen Schüler, der nach ihr strebt. Er ahnt nicht, dass ein junger Jedi-Padawan ihm auf die Schliche gekommen ist. Und selbst wenn: Was kann ein einfacher Padawan gegen den letzten der Sith-Lords schon ausrichten?

Tausend Jahre, bevor Darth Vader und sein Meister Imperator Palpatine die Galaxis unterdrückten, waren die Sith zerstritten und darum für kaum jemanden eine Bedrohung als für sich selbst. Doch dann kam Darth Bane, der Schöpfer der Dunkelheit. Er zerstörte das alte System, in dem die Sith wie Könige herrschten, und erließ die Regel der Zwei: Ein Meister, ein Schüler. So schuf er die Sith, wie wir sie heute kennen, lieben und fürchten.

Vingt ans se sont écoulés depuis que Dark Bane a anéanti l'ancien ordre voué au côté obscur et s'est imposé comme le dernier Seigneur Noir des Sith. Désormais ne subsistent plus que lui, pour incarner le pouvoir, et Zannah, son apprentie, pour le convoiter. À l'issue d'un ultime duel, Zannah doit tuer son maître et prendre sa place, mais elle tarde à relever le défi. Bane, qui refuse de voir son rêve se briser à cause de la faiblesse de son apprentie, s'est juré de trouver l'holocron de Dark Andeddu qui renferme le secret de l'immortalité.

Sono trascorsi vent'anni da quando Darth Bane ha distrutto l'Antico Ordine, ricostituendolo attorno a due sole persone: un Maestro e un apprendista. Ora è giunto il fatidico momento in cui Darth Zannah sfiderà il suo Maestro Oscuro, Darth Bane. L'allieva deve dimostrarsi degna di succedergli, ma non è ancora pronta. Non volendo che il sogno di dominare la Galassia muoia con lui, Bane deve scoprire un segreto che garantirà l'immortalità ai Sith.
