SHADOWS OF FATE TRILOGY-A.S

He was never just her best friend.
She was never just another Jedi.
War ignites. Duty cracks.
What devours more-unbreakable loyalty...
or the flame underlying it all?
Shadows close in.
Nothing stays hidden forever.

Book I of the Shadows of Fate Trilogy
Episode II: Attack of the Clones

Padawan Aydia Whitelighter the fragile Jedi of porcelain strength and razor wit-teeters on the razor's edge of her oaths: absolute devotion to the Order, and the dangerous tether to Anakin Skywalker. She's been his relentless shadow through every trial and fire, masking the fault lines beneath armor she never quite grew into.

But when a security detail involving Senator Padmè Amidala ruptures what silence once kept contained, emotions long buried come clawing to the surface. Loyalties fracture. Assassins circle. And one secret-bound in silence- threatens to set fire to it all.

As Count Dooku fractures the stars, Aydia learns fate doesn't take without leaving scars. Her best friend- already consumed by a destiny meant to define him. The Jedi whose uncharted bond with her could be the very thing that breaks them.

When Geonosis erupts in slaughter and the Clone Wars threaten to swallow the galaxy, Aydia confronts the killing truth: the deadliest enemy isn't the one charging across the arena... it's the irreversible choice staring back at her.

In the shadows of war, fate doesn't wait.

It chooses.
