SHADOWS OF DESTINY~ anakin skywalker

"You feel empty. You feel alone. Lonely. Almost frightened, but also strong, yes? The name for what you are feeling is freedom. How did you expect it to feel? You are free, and that can be lonely, and empty, and frightening. But it is also powerful."- Jedi Master Vergere

In the shadow of the Phantom Menace, a young Zoraya Palpatine - the fiery-haired daughter of General Palpatine - first crosses paths with Anakin Skywalker, the bright-eyed boy from Tatooine. An unlikely bond sparks between them, even as the galaxy begins to tremble under the rise of darkness.

Years later, during the Clone Wars, Zoraya and Anakin reunite as adults - now warriors shaped by war and hidden secrets. Their innocent connection deepens into a forbidden love, one that defies duty, destiny, and the growing darkness around them. As Zoraya battles to stay true to her kind heart despite her secret Sith training, and Anakin struggles with the chains of the Jedi Order, the two must navigate loyalty, love, and betrayal.

When the storm of Revenge of the Sith looms, Zoraya faces the ultimate choice: stand by Anakin as he falls to the Dark Side - or risk everything to save the man she loves, even if it means losing him forever.
