This three-book collection brings together Timothy Zahn’s Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy, set in the Unknown Regions beyond the edge of the galaxy. Within this chaotic, uncharted expanse lies the Ascendancy, home to the Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families who lead them.

Across the series, the stability of the Ascendancy is repeatedly tested. A daring attack on the Chiss capital shatters a long-held peace, while later threats arrive not as open ultimatums but disguised as generosity.

Synopses

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: (Book 1: Chaos Rising)

The Unknown Regions are chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, yet within them sits the Ascendancy, led by the enigmatic Chiss and their Nine Ruling Families. The calm of this society is broken by a daring assault on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of its attackers.

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: (Book 2: Greater Good)

Thrawn carries the weight of a recent triumph, having led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth. Yet the danger to the Ascendancy remains, arriving through gifts and services offered with apparent goodwill, as small events across the Ascendancy hint at far-reaching consequences.

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: (Book 3: Lesser Evil)

For thousands of years, the Chiss Ascendancy has stood as a centre of power and stability in the Unknown Regions, guided by the Nine Ruling Families. That stability is undermined by a cunning foe that weakens trust and loyalty, driving divisions between the families and pushing the Ascendancy towards civil war, even as the Expansionary Defense Fleet strives to hold it together.
