The fate of the Chiss Ascendancy hangs in the balance in the epic finale of the Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
To secure the salvation of the Ascendancy, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything? Including the only home he has ever known?.
Even if that legend turns out to be a lie.
But the truth of a family’s legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it.
To ensure the Ascendancy’s future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family.
Until now.
Their mythic status in the Chaos was earned through conflict and terrible deeds, some long buried.
The Chiss are no strangers to war.
Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer and closer to civil war.
Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families.
But that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe who winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure.
It is led by the Nine Ruling Families, whose leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions.
For thousands of years the Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity.
