When the Jedi Temple burns, so does everything Padmé Amidala Skywalker holds dear.
As the Republic falls and the Empire rises, Padmé is told the unthinkable-her husband, Anakin Skywalker, and their young twins have perished in the attack. Grief-stricken and carrying their unborn child, she retreats to Naboo, vanishing from the galaxy's eyes as she mourns the life and love she's lost.
But across the stars, Anakin and their children have survived. After Order 66 the Jedi Knight and his four-year-old twins, Luke and Leia, are forced into exile on a desolate Outer Rim world. There, Anakin must face the ruins of his faith, the ghosts of the fallen, and the desperate hope that Padmé and the child she carries might still be alive.
Separated by war, hunted by darkness, and bound by a love stronger than destiny itself, Anakin and Padmé will defy the Empire's shadow to find one another again.
Will love reunite what the Empire has torn apart or will fate keep the Skywalkers forever divided?

Love's Rebellion || Anakin x Reader
[Book 2 of Forbidden Love] *Again, this is a long book* The galaxy mourns her. To all who knew her, Y/N Naberrie Skywalker died on the medical bay, her final breath spent naming her children - Luke and Leia - before the darkness closed in. Her forbidden love with Anakin ended in fire and betrayal, leaving only ashes, grief, and two fragile sparks of hope. But love, true love, does not die so easily. Though she is gone from the eyes of the world, her presence lingers. In Obi-Wan's haunted silence as he cradles the twins. In the quiet moments where Padmé's family lights a candle in her memory. In Luke's unexplainable longing for something greater beyond the sands of Tatooine. In Leia's fire to fight for justice, as though the strength of her mother's spirit guides her steps. And even in Anakin - twisted into Darth Vader, consumed by shadow - the echo of Y/N's love cuts deeper than any blade. Book 2 unfolds across the years of rebellion and war, where her memory becomes legend, her love becomes legacy, and her children rise against the Empire. Yet between the shadows and the light, between hope and despair, whispers remain: a presence in the Force, a heartbeat not silenced, a love that even death itself cannot break. This is not just the story of a rebellion. It is the story of a love lost, a heart broken, and a bond so powerful it shapes the destiny of the galaxy. cover art was made by: Kalypsocean on pinterest
