The Jedi reluctantly team up with the nefarious Lourna Dee in this all-new Star Wars audiobook original, narrated by a full cast.

Lourna Dee is not a villain. She’s not a hero. She’s a survivor. The former Tempest Runner, wanted by both her Nihil allies and the Republic, has evaded imprisonment and death from both groups more times than she can count. But even Lourna cannot outrun the mysterious blight that devours everything wherever it appears. And Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil, has announced that only he knows the secret to stopping it.

Desperate, the Republic and Jedi turn to Lourna with an offer: help the Jedi stop the blight, and in return, Lourna will have a clean slate and the chance to decide her own future.

Teamed with Avar Kriss and Keeve Trennis, the same Jedi who once hunted her, Lourna leads the search for the Nihil’s chief scientist, Baron Boolan, the only being who may have answers to the mystery of the blight, as well as Marchion Ro’s true plans.

Lourna weighs the Republic’s offer of true freedom against her own instincts for survival as her team heads deeper into Nihil territory, straight toward the very dangers Lourna has worked for so long to elude. And when the opportunity arises to face off against Marchion Ro himself, even Lourna Dee may be willing to sacrifice everything to fulfill a quest for revenge.

Great performance

I liked how it was different from other high republic novels in its writing from one person’s storytelling

Best Audiodrama yet for The High Republic era!

Cavan Scott has outdone himself again 🙌 and as a reader of the comics, this ties in perfectly.

Great voice acting, story good

Good continuation on the high republic story. I loved everyone’s voice acting. Overall I recommend the listen.

Amazing voice actors but a bit much

I’m loving the entire High Republic series, especially the full cast productions like this. Having said that however, as incredible as each actor was it was a bit over the top. During some scenes the spitting, heavy breathing, grunting , yelling, etc, was so distracting it made me want to shut it off at times. Overall it was a great part of the entire series.

Literally clapped at the conclusion

So good I had to listen in one go. Couldn’t stop. Highly recommend checking this one out even if audiobooks are not your normal thing.

Entretenida historia

Muy divertido escuchar el audio incidental mientras se lleva a cabo la historia. Le añade una capa extra de detalle y se agradece

great handling of the characters, great performances!

The handling as a wrap-up to a set of storylines for this window of the HR era was amazingly handled, the characterisations and performances were amazing, and the pacing felt really well done for how much happened

An enjoyable Star Wars experience!

Complex character interactions, decent drama, high stakes, and crucial story development. A must listen for High Republic fans. The cast did some excellent work. Marc Thompson as Marchion Ro continues to be a highlight of audio High Republic. Manoel Felciano as Tey Sirrek was a hoot! I will admit, there were times when I couldn’t tell the female characters apart. I can’t remember ever having that problem in the past, but this time around they didn’t feel very distinct. A scene with Avar, Keeve, and Quinn (iirc) was impossible for me to keep up with lol. BUT Louna’s voice was unmistakable! The actress performing Lourna gives the character so much confidence and charisma, which feels very fitting for who Lourna Dee is. I hope this isn’t the last we hear of Jessica Almasy as Lourna Dee.

MUY BUEN AUDIO DRAMA!

Genial evolución de Lourna Dee! La conexión con los cómics de La Alta República y con el libro Tempest Runner son impecables, en mi opinión lean antes esos para disfrutar mejor la historia. MUY BUENAS las actuaciones, los efectos de sonido y música 👏🏼👏🏼

Love the Audio Dramas!

The High Republic Audio Dramas are fantastic! Full cast story telling in the style of a Radio Drama!
