Scarred Blade: A Kael Ordo Story

For thirty-two years, Kael Ordo has carried one truth: they took his mother, and he is going to get her back. Now forty-six, the battle-scarred Mandalorian has twelve days left before the only window to reach her closes forever. Armed with nothing but a battered ship, a handful of seismic charges, and the two people who refused to abandon him—his younger brother Ryn and Vira Vizsla, the steadfast warrior who has stood beside him since childhood—Kael prepares to walk alone into an Imperial mountain prison. The clans of Mand'alor have already turned their backs. The odds are impossible. But Kael has never needed permission to fight for what is his. As the countdown ticks down, the ghosts of the night his enclave was destroyed claw their way back. The night his father held up the collapsing sky so his children could live. The night fourteen-year-old Kael learned exactly what it costs to be Mandalorian. And the strange, bone-deep pressure he has felt his entire life—the one that lets him feel every living thing around him—begins to stir something far more dangerous than memory. In a galaxy that has already taken everything from him, Kael Ordo must decide how much more he is willing to lose… and what kind of blade a man becomes when everything he loves has been forged in fire. A dark, atmospheric Mandalorian tale of family, sacrifice, trauma, and unbreakable loyalty in the Star Wars universe.
