The story of Queen Amidala's five handmaidens during the invasion of the Trade Federation. Snarky Sabé is just trying to make it through etiquette lessons when she is thrust into the job as decoy to the Queen, facing life-ending peril and the exposure of Naboo's biggest secret. Her friend, the reserved Rabé, is just along for the ride when she meets someone from her past that throws her entire journey into chaos. The charming Eirtaé has already found love, but she struggles to hold onto it as her dreams, her love, and her people begin to conflict. Wise Saché is left behind on Naboo while many of the others escape, and feels more alone than ever as faces her biggest challenges yet while captured by the Trade Federation. Seemingly innocent Yané has a history of taking care of people, and must look after the people of Naboo while the others are gone.
