The New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation makes her middle grade debut with a sweeping tale of the ghosts of our past that won't stay buried, starring an unforgettable girl named Ophie. Ophelia Harrison used to live in a small house in the Georgia countryside. But that was before the night in November 1922, and the cruel act that took her home and her father from her. Which was the same night that Ophie learned she can see ghosts. Now Ophie and her mother are living in Pittsburgh with relatives they barely know. In the hopes of earning enough money to get their own place, Mama has gotten Ophie a job as a maid in the same old manor house where she works. Daffodil Manor, like the wealthy Caruthers family who owns it, is haunted by memories and prejudices of the past--and, as Ophie discovers, ghosts as well. Ghosts who have their own loves and hatreds and desires, ghosts who have wronged others and ghosts who have themselves been wronged. And as Ophie forms a friendship with one spirit whose life ended suddenly and unjustly, she wonders if she might be able to help--even as she comes to realize that Daffodil Manor may hold more secrets than she bargained for.

Rey, Poe, Rose und BB-8 sind gerade auf dem Rückweg von einer Routinemission, als sie ein verzweifelter Notruf vom Planeten Minfar erreicht. Obwohl ihr Befehl lautet, sofort zur Basis des Widerstands zurückzukehren, beschließen sie, der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen. Sie bekommen es mit einem ganzen Bataillon der Ersten Ordnung zu tun, mit grässlichen geflügelten Monstern und einer Waffe, die den Ausgang des Krieges entscheiden könnte …

Lange vor den Klonkriegen, dem Imperium und der Ersten Ordnung führten die Jedi die Galaxis in ein Goldenes Zeitalter, bekannt als die Hohe Republik! Die Jedi sind der festen Überzeugung, dass sie die gefürchteten Nihil-Marodeure endgültig in die Flucht geschlagen haben. Jedi-Ritterin Vernestra Rwoh hofft nun, dass sie jetzt in Ruhe die Ausbildung ihres Padawan Imri Cantaros fortsetzen kann – doch die Berichte über einen Nihil-Angriff auf Port Haileap machen alle Hoffnungen zunichte. Offenbar haben die ruchlosen Piraten nicht nur den friedlichen Außenposten angegriffen, sondern auch Vernestras und Imris Freundin Avon Starros entführt. Die beiden Jedi machen sich sofort auf den Weg, um sie zu retten. Unterdessen werden Avons Klugheit und Listenreichtum auf die Probe gestellt, als sie unter den Nihil ums Überleben kämpft – und dabei einen finsteren Plan aufdeckt.
