Le Maître Jedi Luke Skywalker est hanté par des visions du côté obscur : un sinistre secret, grandirait quelque part dans les profondeurs de l''espace sur un monde désolé portant le nom d''Exegol. La perturbation dans la Force est indéniable... et les pires craintes de Luke se voient confirmées lorsque son vieil ami, Lando Calrissian, vient lui faire part d''une nouvelle menace Sith. Depuis que sa fille lui a été dérobée, Lando a parcouru les étoiles à sa recherche.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine’s forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable . . . and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace. After Lando’s daughter was stolen from his arms, he searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor leads only to dead ends and fading hopes—until he crosses paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl. Ochi’s true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will answer the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: Return to Exegol with the key to the Sith’s glorious rebirth—Rey, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself. As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith’s lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.

Em nova história oficial do universo de Stranger Things, Eleven descobre segredos perturbadores do passado de Jim Hopper A terceira temporada de Stranger Things causou grande comoção, e o último episódio deixou os fãs perplexos e ansiosos por respostas. As pistas estão lançadas em Cidade nas trevas, segundo livro oficial da série, que explora o passado de um dos personagens mais queridos do público: o chefe de polícia Jim Hopper. Em Hawkins, durante o Natal de 1984, ele mal consegue conter a alegria. É sua primeira comemoração familiar com Eleven, sua chance de aproveitar momentos de tranquilidade com a filha adotiva. Mas a menina tem outros planos. Contra a vontade de Hopper, ela vasculha uma caixa em que está escrito “Nova York”. É aí que começam as perguntas. Por que Hopper foi embora de Hawkins anos atrás? Por que nunca contou sobre Nova York? O que ele está escondendo? Embora prefira enfrentar uma horda de demogorgons a mergulhar em seu passado, Hopper sabe que não pode mais esconder a verdade. Por isso, ele conta a Eleven os detalhes de um dos casos mais avassaladores de sua carreira, o último antes de tudo mudar... Em 1977, após retornar da Guerra do Vietnã, ele se muda com a esposa e a filha para Nova York e passa a atuar na divisão de homicídios. A cada dia, se depara com inúmeras tragédias, mas nenhuma se compara a uma série de assassinatos brutais e incompreensíveis. Quando agentes federais assumem o caso, Hopper e sua irreverente parceira, Rosario Delgado, decidem agir por conta própria, e logo o detetive se vê infiltrado entre as perigosas gangues da cidade. No momento em que está prestes a desvendar quem — ou o quê — está por trás dos assassinatos, um apagão lança a cidade nas trevas, e Hopper fica frente a frente com uma escuridão que mudará sua vida para sempre.

Christmas, Hawkins, 1984. All Chief Jim Hopper wants is to enjoy a quiet first Christmas with Eleven, but his adopted daughter has other plans. Over Hopper’s protests, she pulls a cardboard box marked “New York” out of the basement—and the tough questions begin. Why did Hopper leave Hawkins all those years ago? What does “Vietnam” mean? And why has he never talked about New York? Although he’d rather face a horde of demogorgons than talk about his own past, Hopper knows that he can’t deny the truth any longer. And so begins the story of the incident in New York—the last big case before everything changed. . . . Summer, New York City, 1977. Hopper is starting over after returning home from Vietnam. A young daughter, a caring wife, and a new beat as an NYPD detective make it easy to slip back into life as a civilian. But after shadowy federal agents suddenly show up and seize the files about a series of brutal, unsolved murders, Hopper takes matters into his own hands, risking everything to discover the truth. Soon Hopper is undercover among New York’s notorious street gangs. But just as he’s about to crack the case, a blackout rolls across the boroughs, plunging Hopper into a darkness deeper than any he’s faced before.
