Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma are two young Jedi during a time of a Sith resurgence.

With the power of the dark side of the Force aiding them, Satal and Aleema—two wealthy young aristocrats—boldly begin annexing the galaxy! Alerted to this deadly threat to peace, the Jedi begin planning a defense... but will they be too late? Against this backdrop of interstellar war, Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider—two novice Jedi Knights—find that in the heat of war, there can be flames of passion!

The Krath attack! During a seemingly peaceful meeting of the Jedi Knights, a deadly blow is struck for the dark side of the Force! The first casualties of this struggle between dark and light galvanize Ulic toward a rash decision that may cost him his life.

In search of ancient Sith magic, the Jedi Exar Kun travels to a place of mysterious, mystical power—a power so dark, so evil, that his very link to the light side of the Force is shattered. Jedi powers can't help him here. Only the dark side of the Force can save him—even as it consumes him!

Ten years after the Sith War, the Dark Lord of the Sith's chief lieutenant, Ulic Qel-Droma has been stripped of his Force powers and has isolated himself in a distant corner of the galaxy, trying to escape from a life he would rather forget. But his past is about to catch up with him as he is tracked down by Vima, the daughter of Nomi Sunrider, the woman who blinded Ulic to the Force. Vima seeks a teacher and Ulic sees in her a chance at redemption. Unfortunately, Vima's disappearance draws attention, and the search party sent to look for her includes a vicious Jedi seeking revenge upon Ulic for killing her mate.

In the final, climactic issue of this landmark series, two renegade Jedi, Ulic Qel-Droma and Exar Kun, clash in mortal combat. One will be awarded the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, the most feared and powerful force in the galaxy; the other may be awarded a shallow grave. The fate of the entire universe rests on the outcome!
