According to Del Rey Online, April 28 will see the release of a new paperback entitled “Blood Oath.” Written by Elaine Cunningham, writer of the NJO novel “Dark Journey,” the novel is said to have 352 pages. Nothing is known beyond the facts stated on the page for the novel. We’ll try and find out more information on this novel for you, so keep watching EUC! Feel free to start speculating the novel on our forums here.
Very, very special thanks to our friend Christian from Germany for letting us know.

UPDATE: (Originally Posted on September 5, 2008)
We have contacted Mrs. Cunningham, and she was kind enough to reply with the following:
I’m not sure when the Del Rey announcement will be made. My editor told me
it’s possible that it may be this week, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there
are further delays. The info on the Del Rey catalog page looks about right.This will be a very different story from DARK JOURNEY. Obviously, I can’t
give any details at this point, but I can confirm that it’s a stand-alone
book, rather than an episode in a larger story arc.
We will let you know once we get an announcement and more information about the novel. Until then, please feel free to join the very popular speculation of the novel here.

Looks like Star Wars fans have a lot of reading to do in 2009 Fate of the Jedi and now this. Del Rey is going to be very active next year. I just hope these books are better reading then LOTF. Blood Oath huh I wonder what that means. Elaine Cunningham has not visited Star Wars since the New Jedi Order Series so it has been a while. I remember Dark Journey I finished it in 3 days. If I remember right Jaina Solo was the main character in that novel. I wonder if Elaine is being brought in to write another stand alone novel about Jaina. Could this book be about how she joins the Empire and forms the Imperial Knights? I will admit this is a little premature on my part as we do not even know if this book will take place in the Legacy era. Then again we do not know much right now, but hay I can dream can’t I.
