Summary: After the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan is committed to the final trial of his life—ensuring that the twins live to adulthood. He is ready to die for the cause.
But when an allegedly low-stakes, in-and-out mission from Bail Organa puts him in the crosshairs of a vengeful courtesan, Obi-Wan finds his commitment to his final trial is built on a shakier foundation than he expected.
Will Obi-Wan retreat to the deserts of Tatooine until he is called to die, or will the courtesan—this “Shado”—convince him to take another path? And why is Shado so obsessed with Anakin Skywalker?
