From the Author

Knight Errant follows Kerra Holt, a young Jedi operating in Sith space during a time in which the Republic and Jedi Order have largely abandoned many systems to their fates. The Outer Rim is a crazy-quilt patchwork of mini-empires controlled still crazier Sith Lords, all of whom have their own deranged spins on Sith philosophy and a healthy hatred for their rivals. Hiding among the enslaved citizens, Kerra sees Sith madness up-close -- and acts. But how much can a Jedi alone do -- and can she really trust anyone at all?

Kerra Holt also appears in Knight Errant comics from Dark Horse, but the novel stands alone, providing an easy entry into this tumultuous era in Star Wars history. Depicting a time 1,000 years before Episode I and a place where Sith rule is near-absolute, Knight Errant asks its heroine what it means to be a Jedi when hope is nearly gone.
