Secret tells the tragic story of Anakin Skywalker and Iliana Mallory, two Jedi Knights whose bond is forged in the fires of the Clone Wars and ultimately tested by the forces of darkness. As the war rages across the galaxy, Anakin and Iliana grow closer, their love deepening despite the Jedi Code's forbiddance of attachments. However, Anakin's increasing frustration with the Jedi Council and his growing closeness to Chancellor Palpatine strain their relationship. Iliana fears that Anakin is being led down a dark path, and her worst fears are realized when Anakin succumbs to the temptations of power, becoming Darth Vader, apprentice to the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. As the Jedi Order falls and the Empire rises, Iliana is left heartbroken, struggling to reconcile the man she loved with the monster he has become. In a final, heart-wrenching confrontation, Iliana pleads with Anakin to return to the light, but he ultimately chooses power over love, leaving her devastated. Unable to kill the man she once loved, Iliana goes into hiding, vowing to remember the good in Anakin even as she dedicates herself to the remnants of the Jedi cause. Despite the pain, she holds onto hope that there is still light within him and dedicates her life to fighting the darkness, determined to honor the memory of the man she lost.
