From the Back Cover:

Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, cloaked by the Force and riding with the hostile Sand People, have returned to the desert planet Tatooine in hopes of making contact with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke hopes the old Jedi Knight's spirit will tell him how to help his love, Callista, regain her lost ability to use the Force. Tormented and haunted, Luke cannot rest until Callista is a Jedi in the fullest sense, for only then will the link between their minds and souls be restored. Yet brewing on Tatooine is news that will shake Luke and Han and threaten everything they value.

The evil Hutts, criminal warlords of the galaxy, are building a secret superweapon: a reconstruction of the original Death Star, to be named Darksaber. This planet-crushing power will be in the ruthless hands of Durga the Hutt – a creature without conscience or mercy.

But there is worse news yet: the Empire lives. The beautiful Admiral Daala, still very much alive and more driven than ever to destroy the Jedi, has joined forces with the defeated Pellaeon, former second in command to Grand Admiral Thrawn.

In Darksaber the Jedi are heading for the ultimate test of their power – a test in which all the temptations of the dark side beckon. And Luke Skywalker must draw upon his innermost resource to fight for a world in which he can not only live, but dare to love.
