Padmé returns for third and final entry in E.K. Johnston’s trilogy with Queen’s Hope. Although a secret marriage to the love of her life, Anakin Skywalker, should be a happy moment…such peace can rarely be found in war. The Clone Wars rage on, and as the grisly realities of continued conflict take a toll on the newlyweds, nuptial celebration must give way to action and even more secrets. With Padmé fighting in her own way for the future of the Republic, the responsibility of her Senatorial commission falls to Sabé who hopes to steep herself in deception one final time for her lifelong friend. It will take all the cunning and compassion that Padmé has cultivated through her life to save those that she loves as the hope of a peaceful Republic slowly crumbles around her.
