Next time...

An expedition of elite warriors in the equatorial jungles of Mandalore disappears without a trace. When they fail to report in, Mandalorian leader Fenn Shysa sends a recovery team to investigate the fate of the original group. Cin Vhetin volunteers for the mission, claiming he has a history with one of the missing team members. Jay also volunteers, always eager to explore new and exciting places. They, along with famed Mandalorian warrior Vhonte Tervho and the fearsome cult leader Norac Benz, join the search party bound for the ancient jungle known as the Werda Kurs, the Dark Forest.

But as they begin their investigation, the hunters are plunged into a world unlike any they have faced before. The jungles of Mandalore are dark, dangerous, and violent. There are things in the trees even Mandalorians fear, creatures that hunt anything that passes into their territory and prey on local warriors without mercy.

Now, trapped in the dark with miles of wilderness separating them from friendly forces, Vhetin, Jay, and their allies realize they are not alone in the ancient forests. They are being hunted by the very creatures that ambushed the patrol team, creatures the locals call the Kar'ta-Epare.

The Heart-Eaters.
