When the Jedi Order falls, an Inquisitor rises. Padawan Iskat Akaris has dedicated her life to traveling the galaxy alongside her master, learning the ways of the Force to become a good Jedi. Despite Iskat’s dedication, peace and control have remained elusive, and with each setback, she feels her fellow Jedi grow more distrustful of her. Already uncertain about her future in the Jedi Order, Iskat faces tragedy when her master is killed and the Clone Wars engulf the galaxy in chaos. Now a general on the front lines contributing to that chaos, she is often reminded: Trust in your training. Trust in the wisdom of the Council. Trust in the Force. Yet as the shadows of doubt take hold, Iskat begins to ask questions that no Jedi is supposed to ask: Questions about her own unknown past. Questions the Jedi Masters would consider dangerous. As the years pass and the war endures, Iskat’s faith in the Jedi wanes. If they would grant her more freedom, she is certain she could do more to protect the galaxy. If they would trust her with more knowledge, she could finally cast aside the shadows that have begun to consume her. When the Jedi Order finally falls, Iskat seizes the chance to forge a path of her own. She embraces the salvation of Order 66. As an Inquisitor, Iskat finds the freedom she has always craved: to question, to want. And with each strike of her red blade, Iskat moves closer to claiming her new destiny in the Force—whatever the cost.

Delilah S. Dawson did something I never thought possible, she made me hate the Jedi. Now of course everyone is a hero of their own story, but following Iskat you feel every ounce of her emotions, fear, hate, and compassion. You cheer for every victory Iskat has and hurt for every loss.
Earlier this year I had ranked all of the Star Wars books I have personally read with Inquisitor Rise Of The Red Blade as my most anticipated, and Delilah S. Dawson just wrote the best Star Wars Book I’ve ever read.
Iskat has never done any wrong. Ever. I wish part three was a little longer, especially after she took the name Thirteenth Sister. But another amazing Star Wars novel by Delilah S. Dawson!
