One of the most cunning and merciless officers of the First Order, Captain Phasma commands the favor of her superiors, the respect of her peers, and the terror of her enemies.

But for all her renown, Phasma remains as virtually unknown as the impassive expression on her gleaming chrome helmet. Now, an adversary is bent on unearthing her mysterious origins—and exposing a secret she guards as zealously and ruthlessly as she serves her masters.

Deep inside the Battlecruiser Absolution, a captured Resistance spy endures brutal interrogation at the hands of a crimson-armored stormtrooper—Cardinal. But the information he desires has nothing to do with the Resistance or its covert operations against the First Order.

What the mysterious stormtrooper wants is Phasma’s past—and with it whatever long-buried scandal, treachery, or private demons he can wield against the hated rival who threatens his own power and privilege in the ranks of the First Order.

His prisoner has what Cardinal so desperately seeks, but she won’t surrender it easily. As she wages a painstaking war of wills with her captor, bargaining for her life in exchange for every precious revelation, the spellbinding chronicle of the inscrutable Phasma unfolds.

But this knowledge may prove more than just dangerous once Cardinal possesses it—and once his adversary unleashes the full measure of her fury.


法斯瑪是第一軍團最狡詐無情的軍官之一，她獲得上司的喜愛、同儕的敬重和敵人的畏懼。

儘管聲名在外，法斯瑪依舊神秘，一如其閃閃發光鉻金屬頭盔反射出的冰冷。現在，法斯瑪的對手決定揭露其神秘過往，以及她誓死為其主人守衛的秘密。

戰巡艦深處，身著赤紅盔甲的帝國暴風兵——紅衣主教，正嚴刑拷打反抗軍間諜。但他想知道的資訊，既非反抗軍，也非其對抗第一軍團的作戰計畫。

紅衣主教想知道法斯瑪的過去，因其埋藏了極深的醜聞、背叛、或是私人劣跡，使得紅衣主教可藉此打擊最痛恨的對手，鞏固自身在第一軍團的權力與地位。

被活捉的反抗軍知曉紅衣主教渴望的情報，但她不會輕易低頭。反抗軍與主教討價還價，以每一份珍貴情報換取自身性命，法斯瑪的過去將逐一揭曉。

紅衣主教知道了法斯瑪的過去，但這可能引發更大的危機，甚至更將面對法斯瑪的熊熊怒火。
