This, like the other junior novels, is an ancillary story to the adult high-republic novels. Meaning, it fills in some of the details of the larger story. This one is set on Valo during the Nihil attack on the Republic fair that is detailed in the novel, "The Rising Storm". It is told from the perspective of two Padawans, one named Ram, and another named Lula. They get stuck in the middle of the Nihil attack and help get the word out to the Republic that reinforcements are needed. Vernestra Rawoh also appears in the novel, and Yoda is again name-dropped but does not appear directly.
Like the other junior novels, this one is short, just under 200 pages. If you read relatively quickly this can easily be finished in a day or two. Even though it is tailored more to kids, I think it is written well enough for adults to enjoy. But, it can get a little silly (mainly some of the stuff involving Ram's droid) at times. I would not call it a must-read, but if you are, like me, an adult who collects all of the canon books, it is worth reading once.
