He then fights and kills her, asking her forgiveness before striking the fatal blow. Jacen realizes that Nelani will, if allowed to survive, possibly fulfill the dark vision he had seen. Nelani then tries to arrest the Sith, but Jacen intervenes.

In each vision in which Lumiya is arrested, the galaxy is consumed in an endless war that eventually places Jacen against Luke. Unsure of his next move, Jacen uses the Force to create visions of the future. Lumiya says that Jacen is going to become the next Sith Lord.

She reveals that Vergere is a Sith apprentice, and that Jacen has already received Sith training. Brisha is revealed to be Lumiya, the Dark Lady of the Sith. After fighting Force projections with Ben, Nelani catches up with them. Eventually, Brisha stops the projections and takes Jacen to an office, where Darth Vectivus, the supposed Sith Lord they are hunting, lives. Their guide, Brisha Syo creates a dark side phantom of Luke Skywalker, who attacks and very nearly kills Jacen. While traveling to a subterranean base, Ben and Nelani, a Jedi Knight, are forced out of a mining car. Ben disables the station while Jacen keeps Thrackan busy, ensuring the Galactic Alliance's partial victory as another fleet built in secret spoils the main attack. Luke orders Jacen and Ben to disable the Centerpoint Station, an ancient artifact that Corellian leader (and Han's cousin) Thrackan Sal-Solo is trying to use to his advantage. There, Han voices his concern over Corellia trying to gain independence. After a successful mission to Adumar that ends in a life-threatening attack, they return for a dinner party at his parents' new home.

Jacen starts training his young cousin Ben in the ways of the Force. It reached #10 on the New York Times Best Seller List on June 18, 2006. For other novels, see Betrayal (disambiguation) § Literature.īetrayal was written by Aaron Allston, and was released as a hardcover novel on May 30, 2006.
