The two meet Syl when they’re called back to Coruscant, where Syl has just landed to report her ship stolen by Nihil after being thrown from hyperspace, which is anything but a normal occurrence. Vernestra and Imri have been stationed on the Starlight Beacon ever since the brutal Nihil attacks seen in The Rising Storm.
The novel’s mission shows Vernestra, Imri, Reath, Cohmac, Syl, Jordanna and Xylan teaming up to investigate reported strange activity in the Berenge Sector of the galaxy. We also see the return of Nan ( Into the Dark), a young Nihil pirate who’s bent on impressing and proving her worth to the Eye of the Nihil, Marchion Ro. Vernestra, Syl and Reath chiefly narrate the story. THE HIGH REPUBLIC: VERNESTRA “VERN” RWOH. Out of the Shadows also introduces us to scrappy hauler Sylvestri “Syl” Yarrow, her ex-girlfriend Jordanna Sparkburn and the immensely wealthy hyperspace prospecting heir Xylan Graf. Ireland’s middle-grade novel A Test of Courage introduced us to the Mirialan Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh and her padawan Imri Cantaros, and Out of the Shadows continues their adventures alongside Jedi Master Cohmac Vitus and his padawan Reath Silas (both from Into the Dark). Like the other High Republic offerings, Out of the Shadows tells its story from the points of view of several key characters - Jedi and average Republic citizens alike. Out of the Shadows delivers on all those fronts, even when it takes a while to get to the action or forgoes fleshing out the story’s climax in favor of spending more time in its characters’ heads. With that, fans know what to expect from the stories set hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga: action and space politics, complex characters with relatable emotions and motivations, Jedi self-doubt, mercurial villains and people navigating their place in the galaxy.
