Synopsis:
In the wake of Yrica Quell’s shocking decision—and one
of the fiercest battles of their lives—the remnants of
Alphabet Squadron seek answers and closure across a
galaxy whose old war scars are threatening to reopen.
Soran Keize has returned to the tip of Shadow Wing’s
spear. Operation Cinder, the terrifying protocol of
planetary extermination that began in the twilight of
the Imperial era, burns throughout the galaxy. Shadow
Wing is no longer wounded prey fleeing the hunters of
the New Republic. With its leader, its strength has
returned, and its Star Destroyers and TIE squadrons lurk
in the darkness between stars, carrying out the fallen
Emperor’s final edict of destruction—as well as another,
stranger mission, one Keize has championed not for the
dying Empire, but for its loyal soldiers. Alphabet
Squadron’s ships are as ramshackle and damaged as their
spirits, but they’ve always had one another. Now, as
they face the might of Keize’s reborn juggernaut, they
aren’t sure they even have that. How do you catch a
shadow? How do you kill it? And when you’re finally
victorious, who pays the price?
