Star Wars

"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"--OCLC.
