Publisher's Synopsis
Padme is adjusting to being a wartime senator during the Clone Wars. Her secret husband, Anakin Skywalker, is off fighting the war, and excels at being a wartime Jedi. In contrast, when Padme 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 Padme on a secret mission, her handmaiden Sabe steps into the role of Senator Amidala, something no handmaiden has done for an extended period of time. While in the Senate, Sabe is equally horrified by the machinations that happen there.
