Synopsis: New York Times bestselling author E. K. Johnston, author of the Queens series starring Padmé Amidala, brings fans an untold story about Qi'ra, portrayed by Emilia Clarke in Star Wars: A Solo Story.Not everyone gets to be the hero.Qi&’ra listened to the dreams and promises of a boy with a reckless smile, only to be torn away from him and returned to the White Worms gang while Han made his way to freedom. Now freedom seems like a luxury she can&’t afford while she concentrates on survival and despairs of ever leaving Corellia. But her fortunes seem to turn when a representative of the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn plucks Qi&’ra from captivity and brings her to the syndicate&’s leader, the mysterious and mercurial Dryden Vos. Vos offers Qi&’ra an opportunity she&’s never had before: the chance to build something resembling a comfortable life if she can prove her worth to his organization. With failure meaning certain death, Qi&’ra knows she must immerse herself in the merciless, murderous world of Crimson Dawn. What she doesn&’t know is just who she will be if she survives. . . ."An exquisite portrait of an intrepid character in the Star Wars universe, Johnston&’s latest richly plots Qi&’ra&’s ascent through Crimson Dawn with verve. . . . A propulsive read for fans of a galaxy far, far away." —Kirkus Reviews
