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.

“Kanan!”
Hera ignored the last few rungs of the ladder and leapt down, landing heavily on the deck of the Ghost’s hold before she caught her balance and ran to Kanan and Zeb. Ezra and Sabine followed her, though they hung back as Hera dropped to her knees beside Kanan’s limp body, which Zeb had pulled awkwardly into his lap.
His face was bruised, but aside from that he didn’t look like he had been badly hurt; Hera couldn’t see any other fresh wounds. His eyes were shut, but his pulse was steady under Hera’s fingers as she put a hand to his neck. He just wasn’t conscious.
“What happened?” she demanded as Zeb shifted so that she could start fumbling Kanan’s armor off; the Inquisition either hadn’t removed it or he had gotten it back at some point. “He was fine when I saw him –”
He had been fighting the First Inquisitor when more TIEs had come roaring up and Hera had had to draw them away from the duel on the walkway, Ezra hanging grimly on to the back of the pilot’s seat despite the chaos of the dogfight. She still wasn’t entirely sure how Kanan had gotten aboard the Ghost, just that Zeb and Sabine had reported they’d gotten him and they had to get out of there, now. Hera had barely managed to dock the TIE with the Ghost before they had gotten clear of Mustafar’s gravity well and jumped to hyperspace with half the Mustafar fleet on their tail.
