When the Sith ship Omen crash-landed on Kesh two thousand years ago, the
crew encountered native barbarism and superstition. Now a violent

FREE -- US ONLY Kindle Edition -- Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #4: Savior by John Jackson Miller
Twenty-five years ago the survivors of the marooned Sith ship Omen
bloodlessly conquered the native population of the remote planet Kesh,
installing themselves as overlords and transforming the primitive
Keshiri civilization into a new Sith society. Letting nothing stand in
his way—including his own brother’s life—Omen commander-turned-Grand
Lord Yaru Korsin has ruled unopposed ever since. But now his days, and
those of the ruthless Sith order on Kesh, may be numbered.
Revolt—and revenge—have been brewing in the hearts of the two women
closest to Korsin. One is Adari Vaal, the once-outcast Keshiri who
rescued the stranded Sith, aided their domination of Kesh, and now leads
the secret resistance against them. The other is Seelah, wife of
Korsin, widow of his murdered brother, and mastermind of the plot to
assassinate the Grand Lord and seize power. But have the comforts of a
king and his own arrogance blunted Korsin’s cunning Sith instincts? Or
is he ready to deal swiftly and mercilessly with treachery from any
quarter? Enemies themselves, Adari and Seelah are
unaware of each other’s destiny-altering gambits. They only know that
there can be no turning back—and no escaping the consequences if they
fail. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Star
Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Allies.
