Star Wars - Darth Bane Book 02 Rule of Two paperback

A thousand years before the Republic’s collapse and Emperor Palpatine’s rise to power, Des, the young Force-gifted son of an abusive miner, wins big in a high stakes game with some Republic soldiers – but kills a sore loser! To avoid imprisonment, Des joins the Sith’s Brotherhood of Darkness that’s battling the Jedi’s Army of Light, where he becomes Lord Bane after his abilities earn him a place at the Sith Academy on the planet Korriban. Determined to excel, Bane secretly trains with the devious Githany, former Jedi turned Sith, but after she betrays him, he decides to fly solo and delve deeper into the Sith past.
