Demon, Part 3
The penultimate chapter of the most epic Knights of the Old Republic story ever told!
It is do or die for former Padawan Zayne Carrick as he desperately tries to save Jarael's life. He'll call in favors from the Senate, the Mandalorian Cassus Fett, and Admiral Karath of the Republic Navy — but none can prepare him for what he's about to face!
