They say dreams come true. But that's Anakin's worst nightmare. **This is book no. 2 in my series, The Sting of Time! No. 1 was my book, Memories. You can read this book without having read Memories, but this one will make more sense if you have. :)** Three years on, Anakin Skywalker's nightmares of his mother have returned ... but with one crucial twist. They are about Padmé. Anakin struggles to fight his worst fears as dreams of the death of his beloved wife plague his nights. Are they a glimpse of the future, or are they simply reality distorted by his emotions? Will the past influence his choices in the present? And if so, will it be for good ... or evil? Also, when the Jedi Temple is bombed and Obi-Wan isn't there when it happens, things go from bad to worse. Anakin has the world weighing on him: will he crack? Or will he thrive? Can his friends help? Or will they ultimately be his downfall? ___ This is the sequel to my other Star Wars fanfic, "Memories," so if you haven't read the first book, this one might not make as much sense. This book is also noncanon, angst-saturated, and romantically-tinged. I hope you enjoy! ^.^
