Publisher's summary[]
An exciting book based on the game Star Wars: Hunters!
On the planet Vespaara lies the Grand Arena—a series of battlefields where fighters known as Hunters face off in teams to compete in front of roaring crowds. Newest to their ranks is Rieve, a Force-sensitive orphan from Corellia with abilities she can barely control, and a past she desperately wants to leave behind. But Rieve gets off to a rocky start, strugging [sic] with her lack of confidence both inside the Arena and with her fellow Hunters. And when a mysterious stranger begins stalking the Arena, Rieve fears her troubled past has finally caught up with her....

- ↑ Hunters: Battle for the Arena takes place after Aran Tal joined the Hunters of the Outer Rim, dated to 9 ABY by Star Wars: Timelines. As Battle for the Arena features Rieve join the Hunters, it takes place before Star Wars: The Secrets of the Bounty Hunters, and the in-universe book is set before The Mandalorian Season Three. Season Three takes place around 9 ABY per the reasoning here, therefore Battle for the Arena must be set around the same year.
