The second book deals with Bane's chosen apprentice, Darth Zanah, and their consolidation of power.
As the Rule of Two is brought into effect, the Sith have to gather power by striking from the shadows, not through direct (combat related means) direct means, untill they'll be ready to take down the republic.
This is a thrilling series if you're a fan of the Sith in general, and if you happen to be curious of their Modus operandi.
I confess that dynasty of Evil prooved a bit dragged out at times, but it pays off quickly with the ending.
Every book of this trilogy has at least one climactic battle, at least one if not more, lightsaber duels that will leave you staggering and holding your breath for more.
