A peace-loving senator faces a time of war in another thrilling Padmé
Amidala adventure from the author of the New York Times best-sellers
Queen's Peril and Queen's Shadow!
Padmé is adjusting to being a wartime senator during the Clone Wars. Her
secret husband, Anakin Skwyalker, is off fighting the war, and excels at
being a wartime Jedi. In contrast, when Padmé gets the opportunity to
see the casualties on the war-torn front lines, she is horrified. The
stakes have never been higher for the galaxy, or for the newly-married
couple.
Meanwhile, with Padmé on a secret mission, her handmaiden Sabé steps
into the role of Senator Amidala, something no handmaiden has done for
an extended period of time. While in the Senate, Sabé is equally
horrified by the machinations that happen there. She comes face to face
with a gut-wrenching decision as she realizes that she cannot fight a
war this way, not even for Padmé.
And Chancellor Palpatine hovers over it all, manipulating the players
to his own ends...
