In Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III Volume 1, it’s been one year since the destruction of Starlight Beacon. Since then, Zeen Mrala, Jedi Knight Qort, and their allies have been picking up the pieces, searching for their friends amidst the wreckage. Meanwhile, the marauders known as the Nihil have advanced further into Republic space, leaving destruction in their wake. But hope is rekindled when Zeen finds new evidence of survivors scattered throughout the galaxy. Who else escaped the fall of Starlight Beacon, and where have they been during these past months? Follow Zeen and her friends as they uncover the answers to these questions, rebuild their team, and head into battle for light and life! 

Continuing in Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III Volume 2, Zeen Mrala has rescued the love of her life and saved her Jedi friends from certain doom. But their reunion is bittersweet. As the Stormwall threatens to engulf the planet Eriadu, Zeen, Lula Talisola, and their allies must prepare for another, much larger fight with the Nihil.
