The preview from darkhorse.com is the first three pages of the book. Immediately after, Lucien tries to strike at Haazen with his lightsaber, only to have it be blocked --- essentially, blocked by Haazen's body, on account of the gauntlet of Kressh the Younger. Lucien goes flying across the room. Three Jedi burst in through a window to arrest Haazen, but he is able to fry them all with lightning and then strike them down with his 'saber. Zayne attempts to help Lucien, but a frustrated Lucien yells at Zayne for not striking down Haazen when he had the chance. He tells Zayne that he would never have become a Jedi Knight, as he doesn't have the strength to strike down potential innocents. Zayne retaliates by screaming "Look how that worked out!"
Haazen tells them not to fight, as the five people currently in the room have fulfilled the prophecy of the five.
Q'anilia of the light stands in blind darkness.
Gryph, a criminal from the darkness, has chosen the light.
Zayne is one for the light (though Haazen had thought he would be the darkness).
Haazen stands apart from them all, as he hopes to create an army of both Jedi and Sith who serve his will. He is both a Jedi, and a Sith, and states that if he were to take a Sith name, it would be Darth Hayze, for the clouds of deception he has crafted.
And the one for the darkness is --- Lucien. shock Lucien will train Haazen's Sith, as Haazen already has loyal Jedi.
And for the illusions under which he has lived, Haazen suggests some Sith names for him --- Darth Luzion, or perhaps, Darth Sion. shock hypnotized
Haazen gives Lucien his red lightsaber, telling him "You've had practice for the role." He also gives Zayne back his yellow 'saber.
Q'Anilia rushes to save Krynda, and Zayne tells Gryph to follow her, hoping that Krynda can help them. Lucien blocks Zayne's way with the red 'saber, not about to let him anywhere near Krynda.
Gryph gets upstairs to find that Q'Anilia has slaughtered the guards protecting Krynda's room, only to find her dead inside a glass coffin. A grieving Q'Anilia tells Gryph that she can't feel Krynda in the Force. A droid (who she beheaded as well) told her that Krynda had a stroke, and couldn't speak for days. Q'Anilia drinks something from a goblet, which Gryph interprets to be poison. He tells her that there's a way out, but she disagrees --- the Rogue Moon Prophecy has been fulfilled, and she is taking the only way out. "Zayne has killed us all!" She says. Gryp tells her, "Actually, I kind of killed the other three..." He tells her that lots of people, including him, have worn the red spacesuit at one time (he tried to sleep in it aboard the Last Resort once). He then tells Q'Anilia "That's the problem with you people and your prophecies --- When something doesn't fit, you force it." She speaks of Zayne's prophecy, and he tells her that they made it up. In another awesome Gryph moment, he tells her:
Q'ANILIA: "But --- he said he would destroy us! Hunt us like ---"
GRYPH: "Anybody who really knew Zayne would never have bought that. If you did, after all those years --- I guess you never really knew him at all. ... Nice play, Gryph."
I'm not sure if Q'Anilia dies at this point or not. Gryph says "Nobody here but us corpses: but follows it up with "Plus two if we don't do something." He then realized that Krynda is inside an Oubliette, not a coffin.
Back downstairs, Lucien, filled with rage, chases after Zayne, much to the delight of Haazen. Haazen says he looks forward to working with Zayne and exploring his odd relationship with the Force. Lucien is keen on killing Zayne in order to protect Krynda, when all of a sudden Krynda comes down the stairs, being supported by Gryph. Lucien force-blasts Gryph out of the way and comes to Krynda's aid. She is obviously very weak, and tells Lucien that she saw a vision of him killing the students, which caused her stroke. Tears stream down her face as she asks Lucien to assure her that he didn't kill them. He tells her that he didn't ---
--- but he ordered others to do it. Krynda pushes him away, telling her "No mission is worth the lives of children! Who taught you that it was?" Lucien replies... "You did." Children's lives have been sacrificed to Krynda's mission against the Sith. Krynda admits to being wrong, and her dying words are: "Face the future... with humility."
Lucien then holds her body in a truly touching and emotional moment.
Gryph speculates out loud that the Oubliette was a prototype, as it shattered when he opened it. Lucien realizes that Gryph opened the Oubliette, and, filled with a whoooooole lot of rage, screams "YOU KILLED HER!" Zayne tells Gryph to run as fast as he can --- he'll hold off Lucien for as long as he can.
To be concluded.
