Drew Karpyshyn · 3 novels · 2006–2009
Drew Karpyshyn's trilogy tells the origin story of Darth Bane, the Sith lord who reshaped the order's entire philosophy after centuries of self-destructive infighting. Path of Destruction follows Dessel, an enslaved cortosis miner, from his escape into the Sith military to his rise as the dark lord who would enforce the Rule of Two, one master, one apprentice, that defines the Sith for a thousand years afterward.
