Summary:
Ten years after she vanished during an Imperial raid on a Twi'lek colony, Cham Syndulla sees his daughter Hera for the first time in a hologram -- now wearing the uniform of an Imperial agent and apparently working closely with a human Inquisitor. All Cham wants to do is to bring his long-missing child home to what remains of her family, but he soon finds that Hera Syndulla is only interested in two things: her duty to the Empire and her loyalty to her crew, a mismatched collection of outcasts brought together by Hera and her pet Inquisitor.
With Cham and the Rebel agent known as Fulcrum in pursuit, a new mission takes Hera and the crew of the Ghost to the planet Lothal, where a chance meeting with a Force-sensitive teenager awakens something long buried in the Inquisitor once known as Kanan Jarrus...and has dire consequences for Hera, their crew, the Empire, and the fledgling Rebel Alliance.

Five years ago
Kanan was pretty sure that he should have thrown himself onto Darth Vader’s lightsaber back on Naboo, but he couldn’t have done that to Hera. And it was too late now.
He was in the back of a nearly empty Lambda-class shuttle, strapped into a seat with two stormtroopers on either side of him and the Inquisitor sitting across from him. Vader had vanished into the cockpit hours ago, before they had even left the ground in Theed. A better Jedi probably would have spent the time in meditation, but Kanan wasn’t exactly a good Jedi – he wasn’t even a Jedi anymore – and he had spent the hours between leaving Naboo and now nearly sick with terror. No one had said anything to him since leaving the ISB Complex, but Kanan was pretty sure he knew where they were going.
He felt the air shiver around him as the shuttle came out of hyperspace and couldn’t stop himself from tensing, seeing the Inquisitor’s yellow gaze flicker towards him. The Pau’an lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, in something that might have been amusement.
“Afraid, Jedi?”
“Go to hell,” Kanan said through clenched teeth.
“Oh, no,” said the Inquisitor. “I’m afraid that’s where you’re going.”
