"Two there shall be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it."

- Darth Bane

A sequel to the extremely popular Darth Bane: Path of Destruction has been announced, currently titled Darth Bane: Rule of Two, though the name is likely a placeholder and is subject to change.

"Shelly called me late last week to propose an additional hardcover this fall. THIS fall. Yep. Del Rey figured the market could bear one more, and since the Darth Bane novel was a hit, a follow-up, written by Drew, seemed the best idea. So the untitled Feb. 09 hardcover (previously the "Plagueis" novel) has been moved up, and Drew agreed to continue Bane's story. So we're off and running."

- Sue Rostoni on the Bane Sequel

As shown above, it is a replacement for the canceled Darth Plagueis novel. It seems fitting that Bane's series is but two books long, due to his Rule of Two. The series has been stated to be a duology. It will take place after the Seventh Battle of Ruusan and deal with Darth Bane and his apprentice, Darth Zannah. The book will hopefully be written in an insane 5 months, by Drew Karpyshyn, the same author of Path of Destruction. Karpyshyn is an author and game designer, and wrote a majority of the script for KOTOR I.
