Summary
Set just under twelve months after Episode VIII, Supreme Leader Kylo Ren is mentally unstable and being exploited as a mercenary/assassin for General Hux, while Hux assumes leadership of the First Order - in practice, if not in title. Kylo discovers that the Knights of Ren are plotting to murder and usurp him as Supreme Leader, so makes it his mission to slaughter them all. His one lifeline through his miserable existence is Rey, whom he watches sleeping through their enduring Force bond, unbeknownst to her.
When he is forced to betray the First Order to save her life, Kylo finally summons the courage to reconnect with Rey and finds a new purpose; motivation to properly embrace his leadership and set right the wrongs of the past. But as their passion for each other and his power in the dark side grow, Rey must face the ramifications of fraternizing with the enemy and decide - can she truly love a monster?
