Star Wars: Crimson Climb Announced

E.K. Johnston, best known to Star Wars fans for writing the so-called "Queen's Trilogy" (Queen's Shadow, Queen's Peril, and Queen's Hope) and the standalone YA novel Ahsoka, posted an exciting announcement on her Twitter feed today: she will be writing a new YA novel called Star Wars: Crimson Climb. Details are sparse at the moment, but based on the cover and the title, we can surmise that this book will focus on Solo's beloved character Qi'Ra and her involvement with the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn. Michael Siglain, the Creative Director at Lucasfilm Publishing, confirmed via Twitter that the book will release in October.

A potential storyline for the book could be some sort of bridge between the movie Solo and the so-called "Qi'Ra Trilogy" from the comics (War of the Bounty Hunters, Crimson Reign, and Hidden Empire). However, we won't know for certain until we get an official synopsis from the publisher. We'll be sure to update this article when we get more information.
