Rogue Retelling: The First Death Star

Alderaan is gone. The stars themselves seem darker, trembling with the shock of a world erased-and with it, every certainty Arden Lynn once clung to.
She defected from the Empire to save herself; she never imagined she'd be fighting to save everyone else.

Now, with the Rebel base hours from annihilation, Arden stands between fear and duty, youth and command, past and future. As pilots she trained launch toward the impossible, she listens to them die one by one-friends, comrades, the last remnants of a life she is still learning to claim.

Luke Skywalker's raw courage, Biggs Darklighter's steady faith, Wedge Antilles' quiet trust... all of it becomes tether and anchor as the Death Star looms closer. And somewhere in the wreckage of her conscience lies Tycho Celchu-Alderaanian, loyal, lost-whose fate she can't stop imagining.

In the Battle of Yavin, Arden Lynn will confront not only the Empire she fled, but the person she is becoming.
Because this time, running isn't an option.

This time, hope has a voice-and it sounds like hers.
