For reference, that massive skeleton C-3P0 passes by in ''A New Hope'' belongs to a Krayt dragon.

'''''Heir to the Jedi''''' is a StarWarsExpandedUniverse novel by Kevin Hearne. The novel is entirely told from Luke Skywalker's first person point-of-view and is set shortly after the destruction of the Death Star but before the start of the main ''ComicBook/StarWars'' comic series.
As Luke settles into his role of a Rebel soldier and potential Jedi, he is assigned by Admiral Ackbar and Princess Leia Organa with rescuing Drusil Bephorin, a highly skilled Givin cryptographer, from Imperial custody with the aid of fellow Rebel agent Nakari Kelen. The two end up travelling to several planets while attempting to complete their mission, running into deadly creatures, ruthless Imperial agents, and deadly bounty hunters along the way.
It was released on March 3, 2015.

!!This novel contains the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Nakari is very skilled with a blaster and a compact slug rifle, which can punch through blaster armor.
* ArmsDealer: The Chekkoo clan on Rodia provides high-end weapons, armor, and ship upgrades to its customers. Luke's first mission in the novel is to set up an agreement between them and the Rebel Alliance.
* {{Badass}}: Although very early in his career as a rebel and Jedi, Luke proves to be a very capable and quick-thinking agent for the Rebellion. Nakari is likewise talented, being a very skilled sniper. She even mentions that she once killed a Krayt dragon while hunting on Tatooine. For reference, that massive skeleton C-3P0 passes by in ''A New Hope'' belongs to a Krayt dragon.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:She is killed by a bounty hunter who fired a grenade launcher at her sniper position during a firefight on Omereth, with the shrapnel from the explosion embedding into her body, killing her almost instantly.]]
* CoolShip: The ''Desert Jewel'', a luxury yacht modified and outfitted to serve as a support ship on missions for the Rebellion. Nakari paid for the upgrades by selling a Krayt dragon pearl from the one she killed.
* DoubleTap: Luke notices that Nakari routinely shoots her downed enemies again to make sure they are dead, which makes him somewhat uncomfortable.
* FriendlySniper: Nakari is one of the best snipers in the Alliance, with even Major Derlin praising her skills.
* GoodWithNumbers: The [[PlanetOfHats hat]] of the Givin's, but Drusil is particularly gifted and talented, espically when it comes to communications and hacking, which is why the Rebellion wants to recruit her so badly and why the Empire is not simply just killing her.
* HappilyMarried: Drusil is in a loving relationship with her husband, with whom she has two kids. She only agrees to help the Rebellion if her family's safety is also guaranteed.
* MindOverMatter: Luke spends much of the novel focusing on figuring out how to use the Force to lift objects.
* MissingMom: Nakari's mother was a backup singer in a band who helped write a popular song that mocked Darth Vader. This got her and the rest of the band sentenced to the spice mines of Kessel, which has a life expectancy of one to two years. Since it has been ten years since then Nakari and her father are sure she is dead. This motivated both of them to support the Rebellion.
* NonIdleRich: Despite being wealthy biotech moguls, the Kelen's are both active supporters of the Rebellion, and Nakari serves as a agent on the frontlines against the Empire.
* SkullForAHead: Givin like Drusil have skull-like heads. This somewhat unnerves Luke when he first meets her.
