A prequel to the New York Times best-selling novel Queen's Shadow,
further exploring the life of the iconic Padmé Amidala!**
When fourteen-year-old Padmé Naberrie wins the election for Queen of
Naboo, she adopts the name Amidala and leaves her family to the rule
from the royal palace. To keep her safe and secure, she'll need a group
of skilled handmaidens who can be her assistants, confidantes,
defenders, and decoys. Each girl is selected for her particular talents,
but it will be up to Padmé to unite them as a group.
When Naboo is invaded by forces of the Trade Federation, Queen Amidala
and her handmaidens will face the greatest test--of themselves, and of
each other.
