The Dark Jedi Brakiss -- the student Luke Skywalker expelled from his academy -- has learned much since he left. Enough to master the dark side of the Force. And enough to establish his own school for training Jedi -- the Shadow Academy.

But now Brakiss has been given an even greater task. Not only must he create a sinister legion of Dark Jedi to serve the Empire, he must undertake a challenge not even Darth Vader and the Emperor could meet: Kidnap the heirs of the Skywalker bloodline, and turn them to the dark side of the Force . . .
