Queen's Hope (Star Wars)

A peace-loving senator faces a time of war in another thrilling Padm� Amidala adventure from the author of the New York Times best-sellers Queen's Peril and Queen's Shadow!

Padm� 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 Padm� 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 Padm� on a secret mission, her handmaiden Sab� steps into the role of Senator Amidala, something no handmaiden has done for an extended period of time. While in the Senate, Sab� 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 Padm�.

And Chancellor Palpatine hovers over it all, manipulating the players to his own ends...
