內容簡介 ✰《星際大戰:幻象》延伸新作重磅登場! 由Emma Mieko Candon撰寫的科幻武士小說,為2021年的獨立影集《星際大戰:幻象》延伸出來的全新作品,以被稱為Ronin的孤獨浪者為主角,他手持紅色光劍、帶著忠實的機器人於銀河間旅行,在這段自我放逐之間,漸漸遇上一連串無法忽視的前世記憶…... A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale. An original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology.The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire.Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith.The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire... but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence.Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side.As the galaxy’s perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life."

Her forthcoming work includes STAR WARS VISIONS: RONIN (2021), a Japanese reimagining of the Star Wars mythos, and THE ARCHIVE UNDYING (2023), an original speculative novel about sad giant robots and funny-mean queers dragged screaming toward revolution.As an actual cyborg whose blood has been taken for science, Emma’s grateful to be stationed at home in Hawaii, where they were born and raised as a fourth-generation Japanese settler. By day, they edit anime nonsense for Seven Seas, and by night they remain academically haunted by identity, ideology, and imperialism. At all hours of the day, they are beholden to the whims of two lopsided cats and relieved by the support of an enviably handsome wife.
