Star Wars: Red Harvest

Unlike other young Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps��hose whose abilities have not proved up to snuff��estizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. But suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous, a Sith Lord with a fanatical dream poised to become nightmarish reality. For the rare black orchid that Hestizo has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula��rucial to the Dark Lord's obsession, but with consequences far worse than fatal. Now, spawned by a heretofore unknown virus, the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living��nd commanded by a Sith Master who lusts for power and the ultimate prize: immortality . . . no matter the cost.
