Star Wars Tempest Runner (The High Republic) released today on August 31 2021. It is the newest addition to The High Republic era that Disney created as a brand new segment in the Star Wars canon timeline.
The High Republic Era is a result of a massive collaboration between numerous authors on different platforms such as novels, audio books, comic books and more.
Star Wars Tempest Runner delves into the world of Lourna Dee from the Nihil group of marauders – one of the greatest threats and foes The High Republic has to face.
The Nihil storm has raged through the galaxy, leaving chaos and grief in its wake. Few of its raiders are as vicious as the Tempest Runner Lourna Dee. She stays one step ahead of the Jedi Order at the helm of a vessel named after one of the deadliest monsters in the galaxy: the Lourna Dee. But no one can outrun the defenders of the High Republic forever.
Synopsis for the audio drama Star Wars Tempest Runner
After the defeat of her crew, Lourna falls into the hands of the Jedi–but not before she hides her identity, becoming just another Nihil convict. Her captors fail to understand the beast they have cornered. Just like every fool she’s ever buried, their first mistake was keeping her alive.
Lourna is determined to make underestimating her their last.
Locked onto a Republic correctional ship, she’s dragged across the galaxy to repair the very damage she and her fellow Tempest Runners inflicted on it. But as Lourna plans her glorious escape, she makes alliances that grow dangerously close to friendships. Outside the Nihil—separated from her infamous ship, her terrifying arsenal, and her feared name—Lourna must carve her own path. But will it lead to redemption? Or will she emerge as a deadlier threat than ever before?
