NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of Star Wars: Lost
Stars comes a thrilling novel set in the years before the events of
Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
"Unmissable . . . Bloodline's tense politics, vivid new characters,
and perfectly characterized Leia make it feel as central to the Star
Wars universe as one of the films."--Tordotcom
WITNESS THE BIRTH OF THE RESISTANCE
When the Rebellion defeated the Empire in the skies above Endor, Leia
Organa believed it was the beginning to a lasting peace. But after
decades of vicious infighting and partisan gridlock in the New Republic
Senate, that hope seems like a distant memory.
Now a respected senator, Leia must grapple with the dangers that
threaten to cripple the fledgling democracy--from both within and
without. Underworld kingpins, treacherous politicians, and Imperial
loyalists are sowing chaos in the galaxy. Desperate to take action,
senators are calling for the election of a First Senator. It is their
hope that this influential post will bring strong leadership to a
divided galaxy.
As the daughter of Darth Vader, Leia faces with distrust the prospect of
any one person holding such a powerful position--even when supporters
suggest Leia herself for the job. But a new enemy may make this path
Leia's only option. For at the edges of the galaxy, a mysterious threat
is growing. . . .
Praise for Bloodline
"[Claudia] Gray paints a much more complete galaxy than we often get
to see on the big screen. . . . Knowing that Rian Johnson (writer,
director of Star Wars: Episode VIII) had some creative input on the
novel provides hope that we haven't seen the last of all of these
wonderful characters. . . . Star Wars: Bloodline isn't just a great
Star Wars book, or a great Leia book, or a great book; it's a great
introduction into the larger world of Star Wars in
general."--ComicBookdotcom
"Bloodline is a nonstop page-turner that grabs at heartstrings that
you weren't aware of and yanks down on every one of them. The story is
loaded with context for The Force Awakens that plants the seeds for
The First Order in perfectly haunting ways, and leaves the reader
grasping for more details on newly discovered favorite
characters."--Inverse
