Why we’re excited
Just after the Death Star falls, the rebels have to abandon Yavin IV, and any new hideout will need the hidden weapons stockpile that Bail Organa put away years ago. Only Leia believes she can trace it, so she sets off with Luke and Han, following clues that lead back to figures from her own past, not all of them friendly.
Claudia Gray has written some of the best-liked Star Wars novels, including Lost Stars, Bloodline and Leia: Princess of Alderaan. This one sits right after the original film, so anyone who knows that movie can pick it up.

From the publisher
Princess Leia risks everything to protect the Rebellion as she forges new bonds with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Star Lost Stars.
The Rebellion has just destroyed the Death Star, shaking the Empire to its core, but this victory has come at a terrible price. The planet Alderaan has been destroyed, and the Rebellion now must flee its base on Yavin IV.
Still reeling from the loss of her planet, Princess Leia and the other rebel leaders know that a new base must be found, but it cannot be kept safe without a secret cache of weapons hidden by Bail Organa years ago. Bail kept its location well concealed, and no one still living knows where it is. Leia insists that she is the best person to unravel the clues and discover the cache’s location so they can establish a new rebel base.
And so Leia sets out on a desperate quest with her new friends Luke Skywalker and Han Solo by her side. Her path will take her back to people and places she has known throughout her life, not all of whom remain Leia’s allies. Completing this mission will call upon all Leia’s courage as she wrestles with the sorrows of her recent past in order to secure the Rebellion’s future.
