Echoes Beyond Time

The Empire is gone, but the galaxy it shaped is still full of broken places, buried secrets, and children who grew up in the shadow of its machines. Kae’rin Solen arrives at Luke Skywalker’s young Jedi Praxeum carrying a past she does not fully understand and a lifetime of habits learned from fear, discipline, and survival. On Yavin IV, she finds more than training. She finds Toran Vennar, a brilliant Corellian with too much confidence and a gift for building impossible things, and Meral Tesska, a sharp-witted Kiffar whose loyalty burns bright enough to warm a room or set one on fire. Together, they grow up inside the uncertain first years of the New Jedi Order, where lessons rarely stay in training yards for long. Their path leads through frontier colonies, lost archives, political traps, criminal schemes, strange Force traditions, and the unfinished business left behind by the Empire and the wars that followed it.
