The story ends with a brief war between the Killiks and the Chiss, and brings Raynar Thul, who had turned slightly evil, back into the fold... kind of. Luke basically realizes that he has to lock Raynar away to keep him from causing harm to himself or anyone else.
Jag Fel is lost on a distant planet, but is thought to be alive, and Leia's Jedi training continues. The cover art shows a dark looking Luke Skywalker using Force lightning, something I don't recall him doing in this book.
The shocking information is an encoded bit of memory from R2-D2, showing Anakin and Padme talking on Mustafar before the epic battle of Revenge of the Sith. The text isn't exactly the same as the lines from the movie, but then again, this book came out a little bit before the movie did. We also learn that Jacen would basically follow in Anakin's footsteps to protect those he loves. Everyone around Jacen has no idea that he has a daughter with fellow Jedi Tenel Ka.
The book is pretty good, and it is Denning writing, so it stays within the Star Wars continuity very well.
