Centuries before the Clone Wars or the Empire, in the early days of the High Republic, it was an age of exploration in a galaxy far, far away. . . . Daring pilots chart new routes through hyperspace, while Pathfinder teams make contact with frontier worlds to invite them to join the Republic. When a Pathfinder team's communications droid is found drifting in space, damaged and bearing a cryptic message, Jedi Knight Silandra Sho and her Padawan, Rooper Nitani, are sent to find the missing team members. Their investigation leads them to the planet Gloam, a ravaged world said to be haunted by mythical monsters. Can the Jedi find the missing Pathfinders and unravel the mystery of the monsters? The answers lie in a hidden city beneath the planet's surface. . . . Don't miss these other adventures of Star Wars: The High Republic!

      In the midst of ongoing war, a team of Jedi and Republic Pathfinders vanish during a mission to provide emergency fuel for a planet in energy crisis. Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani, a 14-year-old human with brown skin and eyes, eagerly anticipates the thrill of an adventure when she, her master, and their Pathfinder team follow a distressed message from another Jedi Master who reports sabotage and an ambush. They travel to the planet Aubadas, home of the Katikoot, an advanced civilization of flightless, batlike people. A promise to help with fuel supply problems sent the missing team to the mines of Gloam, Aubadas' polluted and dying twin planet, but only the Katikoot guide returned alive from the mission after monsters attacked them. With the lives of her allies and the future of a whole civilization on the line, Rooper struggles with the heavy realities of her responsibility as a Jedi. The looming threat of further sabotage forewarned by the inciting distress message heightens the suspense as Rooper ventures into danger. Intertwining themes of environmental disaster, the detrimental impacts of capitalism, and what it means to be a monster play a significant role in the conflict. Sweeping action sequences, well-timed shifts among different points of view, and a touch of levity from bantering droids all add to the story's appeal. Final art not seen. A high-stakes, coming-of-age adventure with relevant real-world themes. (timeline) (Fantasy. 10-16)
