City of Liars

Hera Syndulla has always been the galaxy's steady hand. The composed captain. The rebel who never loses control.
But when Bo-Katan Kryze brings a tiny, impossibly sweet Mandalorian-Twi'lek warrior onto the Ghost, Hera's entire world stops.

Nialah Eléa Kryze is a deadly contradiction. A 5'2" ballerina with dual white lightsabers, caramel skin, and curls that shift from blonde to green. She speaks limited Basic, craves deep pressure over loud noises, and has a smile that makes Hera's chest physically ache. She is also the spitting image of the mother she lost at two years old.

Nialah is just looking for a safe haven. She responds to elegance, not bravado-which means she barely tolerates a drooling Ezra Bridger, but naturally gravitates toward Hera's quiet competence. She doesn't know that the captain is hopelessly, terrifyingly obsessed with her. She doesn't know that every Twi'lek whisper is a thread tying her tighter to Hera's chest.

As the Empire closes in, Nialah finds herself living in the confined quarters of the Ghost. Hera is the perfect protector-sweet, warm, and the only one who knows how to ground Nialah when her autism makes the world too loud. But beneath Hera's gentle touch and slow-burn patience lies a possessiveness that refuses to let go.

She offered Nialah a safe place. She just didn't say it was a cage. She fell hopelessly, obsessively in love at first sight. Nialah just thought she was being safe.
