Darth Bane: Path of Destruction
Release Date: 26 September (5 October EU) <-

"The Sith were in shambles. In-fighting among their ranks allowed the Jedi to thwart their dark plans. One last battle to end an era resulted in the extinction of the Sith. Or so it was believed—one Dark Lord survived.

From the ashes emerged Darth Bane, the lone Sith who was able to foresee the inevitable doom of the misguided order, and learn from this costly lesson. He forged a new order of secretive Sith, plotting from the shadows, carefully rebuilding power a generation at a time for centuries until the revenge of the Sith could finally be achieved.

Who was this Dark Lord? What events forged the man who would split from the Sith ranks and entirely redefine the order?"

Coming out next week is Darth Bane: Path of Destruction the book that tells the story of the rise to power of Darth Bane, the Dark Lord of the Sith who reformed the Sith Order and brought about the Rule of Two in 1000 BBY.

I already know the story so I won't say much else I'll probably end up spoiling it. All I'll say is if you've read the Jedi vs Sith comic about the Battle of Ruusan then you'll have a good idea what part of this book is about already, as that takes place during Path of Destruction. Other than that, expect to see the Sith Academy on Korriban, how the Brotherhood of Darkness functioned back when there were thousands of Sith, and expect Darth Revan to make an appearance.
