Quick recap

The Emperor finally grasps how big Qi'ra's plan is and moves to wipe out her and Crimson Dawn. The syndicate's leader becomes a target, but she still has cards to play: allies like the Knights of Ren and the Fermata Cage, an ancient dark side weapon she plans to turn on the Sith themselves. The Rebellion watches from a distance, hoping to profit from the fight. Once Vader joins the hunt, the plan starts falling apart piece by piece. The volume closes Soule's trilogy: Qi'ra's strike at the Emperor fails, but she survives.
