Synopsis

In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, the second in the Darth Bane trilogy, the fearsome Sith lord takes on a deadly new apprentice.

Darth Bane’s twisted genius made him a natural leader among the Sith–until his radical embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy his own order . . . and create it anew from the ashes. As the last surviving Sith, Darth Bane promulgated a harsh new directive: the Rule of Two.

Two there should be; no more, no less.
One to embody the power, the other to crave it.

Now Darth Bane is ready to put his policy into action and thinks he has found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals his own. With his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the Jedi and dominate the galaxy.

Goodreads review by Michael on February 07, 2022

Another 4-star read. This was certainly much darker than the first book but you would expect that with it being about the Dark side of the Force. What I like most about this author's work is that he is one of the few who has perfected the art of giving you a good ending without leaving you hanging. Wh......more

Goodreads review by Scott on February 28, 2023

If the Star Wars movies had been directed by Sam Peckinpah or Quentin Tarantino, the resulting films would resemble Drew Karpyshyn’s Darth Bane trilogy. Book Two, “Rule of Two”, would be a hard “R” rating not only for graphic violence but also for tone and atmosphere. These are dark fucking novels, a......more
