Book description to come.

A brand-new vision of one of comics most famous tragedies-the first of a trilogy of young adult graphic novels by New York Times bestselling writer Claudia Gray and illustrator Eric Zawadzki! Explore Krypton like never before: through the eyes of two teenagers on opposite sides of the same extinction-level event. Zahn is one of Krypton’s elites: wealthy, privileged, a future leader. Sera is one of Krypton’s soldiers: strong, dedicated, fearless. Their rule-bound society has ordained that their paths should never cross. But groundquakes are shaking the planet’s surface. Rebellious uprisings are shaking the populace. Krypton’s top scientists, Jor-El and Lara, conduct a secret experiment that is meant to reform their planet from the cellular level up. Zahn and Sera must join forces to investigate the hidden dangers truly threatening Krypton. In the process, they form a bond that will endure past the end of the world...

There is no longer any doubt: Sera and Zahn have learned that Krypton’s destruction is imminent. General Zod knows this as well, but he doesn’t have the specific information our two young heroes have: there is no time to save themselves or anyone else. Zod, meanwhile, is working on an elaborate plot to make it apparent that he is the only one who can possibly save Krypton. He’ll displace the ruling tribunes and take control of Krypton himself! In this final book of the graphic novel trilogy, two teenagers on opposite sides of the same extinction-level event get drawn deeper into conspiracies that could doom them both-if the planet doesn’t self-destruct first.

As their paths diverge, is love strong enough to overcome the distance growing between them?

The Empire can be seductive, particularly if you’re an aspiring young pilot... Sharing a love of ships and an admiration for the Empire, childhood friends Thane Kyrell and Ciena Ree enroll in the Imperial Academy in the hopes of realizing their dream of joining the fleet. The more they learn, however, the more their loyalties—to the Empire and to each other—are put to the test. Will Thane and Ciena’s friendship—or even they themselves—survive the trials ahead?

As several crises all hurtle toward their thrilling and shocking conclusions, fan-favorite Jedi Knights and Padawans must band together to save the galaxy from the Nihil, the Nameless, and perhaps worst of all, a mysterious blight that turns everything in its path to dust and is seemingly impossible to stop.

Upon discovering her parents’ involvement in rebel efforts to oppose the Empire, Leia is eager to join them in taking a more active role in the fight against the Emperor’s control. Even so, her father insists she return to her diplomatic duties and stay as far from the fight as possible. Frustrated, Leia resolves to prove herself an asset to the Rebellion while outwardly maintaining an air of obedience. However, even a straightforward supply drop in the Naboo system serves to remind her that nowhere is outside the Empire’s control—and nowhere is safe...

Nesta emocionante sequência de Star Wars: Ascensão da tempestade, os Jedi enfrentam seu momento mais sombrio. Por diversas vezes, os cruéis invasores conhecidos como Nihil tentaram dar fim à era de ouro da Alta República. Repetidamente, a Alta República emergiu desgastada e cansada, mas vitoriosa, graças a seus protetores Jedi – e não há monumento maior à sua causa do que o Farol da Luz Estelar. Pendurado como uma joia na Orla Exterior, o Farol incorpora a Alta República no ápice de suas aspirações: um centro de cultura e conhecimento, uma tocha brilhante contra a escuridão do desconhecido e uma mão estendida de boas-vindas aos confins da galáxia. Enquanto sobreviventes e refugiados fogem dos ataques dos Nihil, o Farol e sua tripulação estão prontos para abrigar e curar. Os gratos Cavaleiros e Padawans da Ordem Jedi que estão lá finalmente têm a chance de se recuperarem – da dor de seus ferimentos e da agonia de suas perdas. Mas a tempestade que eles pensavam ter passado ainda continua; eles estão simplesmente presos no centro dela. Marchion Ro, o verdadeiro mentor dos Nihil, está preparando seu ataque mais ousado até agora – projetado para extinguir a luz dos Jedi.
