Explore the beginning of Leia's participation in the Rebellion and the origin of her friendship with Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi! Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control. But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire. And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice: dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan (including the man she loves) or to the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero...

"As the Empire and the Rebellion clash, the galaxy trembles!In the wake of the obliteration of Alderaan, Thane's faith in the Empire is shaken, while the destruction of the Death Star that soon follows gives Ciena a reason to rededicate herself to the side she's chosen.As their paths diverge, is love strong enough to overcome the distance growing between them?"

A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi's most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn't Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council--knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master. When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon's mind. As Qui-Gon's faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan's faith in him is tested--just as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

Als wäre das alles nicht schon schwer genug, muss sich Leia auch mit dem veränderten Verhalten ihrer Eltern auseinandersetzen, die nicht mehr sie selbst zu sein scheinen. Als die junge Prinzessin schließlich herausfindet, welche Geheimnisse vor ihr verborgen werden, sieht sich Leia urplötzlich mit einer schicksalhaften Frage konfrontiert: Wird sie sich künftig nur auf die Belange ihres Heimatplaneten konzentrieren oder stellt sie sich in den Dienst einer ganzen Galaxis, die händeringend nach einer rebellischen Lichtgestalt such?

Marguerite Caine ha fatto l'impossibile, viaggiando in diverse dimensioni con il Firebird, l'invenzione straordinaria che i suoi genitori hanno realizzato con l'aiuto di Paul - che è ora il suo ragazzo - e Theo, un altro brillante studente di fisica. Ma in questo modo è diventata il bersaglio di gente senza scrupoli, che pur di avere libero accesso al Firebird è disposta a rapire, ricattare e persino uccidere. Quando la coscienza di Paul viene frantumata in quattro pezzi e dispersa in diverse dimensioni, Marguerite è disposta a tutto per salvarlo, ma il prezzo per riuscirci rischia di essere troppo alto. Se infatti non saboterà i propri genitori nelle diverse dimensioni, Paul sarà perso per sempre. Ma ci deve pur essere una via d'uscita! Così Marguerite chiede l'aiuto di Theo. Studiano un piano, ma non sarà facile. Le loro vite, come le vite dei loro alter ego temporali, sono in costante pericolo. Dovranno affrontare una San Francisco dilaniata dalla guerra, il sottosuolo criminale di New York e una Parigi tutta lustrini, in cui un'altra versione di Marguerite nasconde un segreto sconvolgente. Ogni mondo la porta un passo più vicino a salvare Paul, ma lei inizia a farsi domande sul loro destino: davvero è scritto che saranno sempre insieme? Diecimila mondi. Diecimila nemici. Un solo amore.
