It is led by the Nine Ruling Families, whose leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions.\n\n\nBut that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe who winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure. Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer and closer to civil war.\n\n\nThe Chiss are no strangers to war. Their mythic status in the Chaos was earned through conflict and terrible deeds, some long buried. Until now. To ensure the Ascendancy’s future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family’s legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend turns out to be a lie.\n\n\nTo secure the salvation of the Ascendancy, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything? Including the only home he has ever known?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Worlds, 2022","offers":[{"title":"Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy (Book III: Lesser Evil) \/ NEW","offer_id":54064724738340,"sku":"9780593158340NW","price":17.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/4573193482399.jpg?v=1779987385","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780593158340","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
