Elara never meant to stand out. On Kamino-where lightning splits the sky and cadets are pushed to their limits-she's just trying to survive. Exhausted from night shifts and falling behind in the combat medic program, she's one mistake away from being cut. She doesn't expect anyone to notice. Especially not them. But Clone Force 99 is watching. Led by the enigmatic Hunter-sharp-eyed, soft-spoken, and impossible to read, the squad offers her something unexpected: a second chance. A new kind of training. And a place she never thought she could belong. As Elara fights to prove herself, her bond with the team deepens... especially with the quiet sergeant who sees more than she wants to admit. In the storm of war, survival isn't just about strength. It's about trust, found family, and the courage to let someone in. And on a planet where it never stops raining, Elara might finally find her light.
