So let's go back to jacen in Betrayal.
He's Ben's master and he's apparently done lightsaber instruction at the academy.
At the same time, he is very much distant from his family, and can not even see Tenel Ka regularly.
He runs into a woman named Brysha Syo-but not before going through many stressful scenarios, which he ends up taking utilitarian solutions too.
And she leads them to her asteroid.
The party are separated.
Lumiya, now brings up the big shocker.
Vergere was a Sith, she secretly was considered for apprenticeship to palpatine but ran away once she got a handle on his true character.
They apparently were in contact(Vergere and Lumiya) during the Vong war(there is a period in the NJO were Vergere goes missing for some months).
Jacen sees visions of the galaxy at war, his uncle's death, and while he is definitely aware of the dictum, "always in motion the future is", the futures he sees-are dependent on certain action or inaction, so he must choose.
Lumiya tells the story of Darth Vectivus-the Sith who found his own master, and died surrounded by family and friends.
It is crucial, absolutely crucial to note-Jacen isn't led into this by a promise to save Tenel Ka, but in part to save Luke(who is implied to have fallen to the dark side), as well as ensure galactic peace.
Jacen sees visions of other outcomes-Lumiya is arrested or she dies-and the same terrible outcome emerges. galactic war, a dead or dark luke.
So he chooses, willingly, consciously, calmly to step into the dark. Devastating Nelani Dinn.
Who is the foil-the good Jedi girl. Who herself has a conversation with supposed shade of Vectivus. Who tries much to convince her the same thing.
At the end of the novel, Jacen runs Nelani down and kills her. Running her through. He sees her future, she'll help people, have a family, and he looks her in the eye.
It clearly hurts him to do this. And Lumiya promises to give her a funeral. Ben's mind is wiped.
Out of all of the LOTF books-Betrayal sets up an intriguing premise and promises an exciting drama.
