Star Wars: The High Republic has released an excerpt of its new upcoming novel The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott. The novel will introduce us to a unique new Jedi character - or rather, a former Jedi character. That would be Ty Yorrick, a former Jedi with a mysterious past, who has earned a massive reputation as a monster hunter and mercenary, after stepping away from the Jedi Order. Ty will apparently become a major figure in Star Wars: The High Republic, as she’s featured in both The Rising Storm novel (hitting shelves on June 29th) and IDW’s The Monster of Temple Peak (which will be released in August 2021). Both projects come by way of writer Cavan Scott, who currently pens the Star Wars: The High Republic comic book from Marvel.

They had found her repairing her ship on the edge of the bog fields, preparing to leave after a successful extraction operation where she had liberated the son of the local marsh-lord from a rival clan. There had been blood and screaming. Always blood and screaming. Some of the gore still caked her armor while the screams would linger when she finally fell into her cot that evening, even after taking keekon root to help her sleep. In all honesty she didn’t mind the screams. They had been her companion for the best part of a decade, the one constant in her ever-changing life.
