Explore the beginning of Leia''s participation in the Rebellion and the origin of her friendship with Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi! Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She''s taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control. But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren''t acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents'' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire. And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice: dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan (including the man she loves) or to the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero...

The reign of the Galactic Empire has reached the Outer Rim planet of Jelucan, where aristocratic Thane Kyrell and rural villager Ciena Ree bond over their love of flying. Enrolling at the Imperial Academy is nothing less than a dream come true for both of them. But Thane sours on the dream when he sees firsthand the horrific tactics the Empire uses to maintain its ironclad rule. Bitter and disillusioned, he joins the fledgling Rebellion--putting Ciena in an unbearable position between her loyalty to the Empire and her love for the man she''s known since childhood. Now on opposite sides of the war, will these friends turned foes ever find a way to be together, or will duty tear them--and the galaxy--apart? This paperback edition includes the exciting first chapter from Claudia Gray''s upcoming novel, Leia: Princess of Alderaan.

Quand la Rébellion a défait l''Empire au-dessus d''Endor, la princesse Leia a cru au début d''une paix durable. Mais après des décennies d''affrontements traîtres et de blocages partisans au sein du Sénat de la Nouvelle République, cet espoir n''est plus qu''un souvenir lointain. Désespérés à l''idée de ne pas réussir à prendre les mesures nécessaires face aux menaces tant extérieures qu''intérieures, les Sénateurs réclament l''élection d''un Premier Sénateur. Ils espèrent qu''un leader fort pourra unifier une galaxie divisée. Leia envisage avec méfiance la perspective d''un tel pouvoir politique aux mains d''une seule personne – même si cette personne devait être elle. Mais un nouvel ennemi est en passe de faire de ce chemin la seule option de la Sénatrice.

Two enemies become allies—and perhaps something more—to save their warring worlds in this sci fi adventure from a New York Times –bestselling author. She''s a soldier. Noemi Vidal is willing to risk anything to protect her planet, Genesis, including her own life. To their enemies on Earth, she''s a rebel. He''s a machine. Abandoned in space for years, utterly alone, Abel''s advanced programming has begun to evolve. He wants only to protect his creator, and to be free. To the people of Genesis, he''s an abomination. Noemi and Abel are enemies in an interstellar war, forced by chance to work together as they embark on a daring journey through the stars. Their efforts would end the fighting for good, but they''re not without sacrifice. The stakes are even higher than either of them first realized, and the more time they spend together, the more they''re forced to question everything they''d been taught was true.
