Summary
Princess Deysi Naberrie was crowned too young, ruled too long, and loved too quietly. She was Naboo’s eternal jewel, the sister Padmé adored, the child queen who learned to carry herself like marble so no one would ever see her break.
Now the Republic is gone. The Empire stands. And waiting for her—watchful, relentless, consuming—is the man who has built her a galaxy.
Darth Vader does not let go of what is his.
But when she looks at him, she does not see the monster. She sees the boy she once whispered to in candlelight. She smiles at him the way she smiled at Anakin Skywalker—like he never left.
And for him, that is enough to undo the whole galaxy.
