Rogues at Dawn

0-1 ABY · Post-Battle of Yavin · Found family, hidden romance, young soldiers growing up too fast
The Death Star is gone, but victory has left the young Rebellion with more ghosts than glory. As Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles rebuild Red Squadron into the elite Rogue Group, a tightknit team of pilots, tacticians, and defectors must learn to fight-and live-under the weight of everything they've lost.

Lieutenant Arden Lynn, brilliant, guarded, and far too young to be this hardened, buries her grief behind sarcasm and strategy. She keeps her pilots at a distance, hides her heart even further, and clings to one dangerous secret:
a clandestine romance with Derek "Hobbie" Klivian, the only person who's ever been allowed close.
But in war, nothing stays secret forever.

Between chaotic missions, long hours in starfighter bays, and the fragile camaraderie of pilots who never know which goodbye will be the last, Arden finds herself forming unexpected bonds-especially with Wedge Antilles, who respects her sharp mind and sees the quiet strength beneath her armor.

As the Rogues face evacuations, covert raids, Imperial traps, and the dizzying pressure of becoming living symbols of hope, their lives intertwine in ways none of them expected.
Friendships deepen. Loyalties are tested. And Arden must confront the terrifying truth that attachments don't make her weak-they make her human.

In the Rebellion's first year of war, love isn't forbidden. It's just dangerous.

And every Rogue must decide what risks are worth taking when tomorrow is never guaranteed.
