After the Order of 66, Jedi Master Boe-mana Tora and apprentice Makal Lori, flee to the outer rim close to the planet of Lothal in an attempt to hide from the newly formed Galactic Empire. Understanding the importance of discretion, Boe-mana has stopped training her Padawan as she is constantly haunted by visions of pain and death. She too has become consumed with fear that her Padawan, who she regards as a lover will suffer the same fatal fate. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, Boemana and Makal are being seeked by an imperial Inquisitor, a force-sensitive Jedi hunter, who is searching for Makal and his soon to be fallen master.
