Disney Lucasfilm Press has announced the upcoming release of Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow, a new novel from E.K. Johnston which will take place between the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones as the former Naboo queen transitions from royalty to a member of the senate.

With the help of her devoted handmaidens, Padmé must figure out how to navigate the treacherous waters of politics and forge a new identity beyond the queen’s shadow.
Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow will go on sale on March 5th 2019.
