Queen's Hope - by E K Johnston (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Padmé Amidala faces a time of war in another thrilling 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 Skywalker, excels at being a wartime Jedi. In contrast, Padmé is horrified by the casualties on the war-torn front lines.

Meanwhile, Padmé's handmaiden Sabé steps into the role of Senator Amidala. Sabé is equally horrified by the machinations that happen there. She comes face-to-face with a gut-wrenching decision as she realizes she cannot fight a war this way, not even for Padmé. Chancellor Palpatine hovers over it all, manipulating everyone to his own ends...

The stakes have never been higher for the galaxy.

About the Author

E.K. Johnston had several jobs and one vocation before she became a published writer. If she's learned anything, it's that things turn out weird sometimes, and there's not a lot you can do about it. Well, that and how to muscle through awkward fanfic because it's about a pairing she likes. You can follow Kate on Twitter (@ek_johnston) to learn more about Alderaanian political theory than you really need to know, on Tumblr (ekjohnston) if you're just here for the pretty pictures, or online at ekjohnston.ca.
