As an apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi is blamed for the death of another Jedi student.  With the help of his Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan must fight to clear his name.  But even if he is not found guilty, he has gained an enemy for life--the dead boy's vindictive father.

Twelve years later, Obi-Wan is a Jedi Knight, with his own young apprentice, Anakin Skywalker.  Anakin doesn't know about the secrets Obi-Wan is hiding.  But as the past comes back to attack them, Obi-Wan and Anakin must fight deception with truth--and face off against enemies both new and old.
