Everyone knows the story of Anakin Skywalker.
The Chosen One.
The greatest Jedi of his generation.
The boy destined to bring balance to the Force.
But before he became Darth Vader...
Before the galaxy feared his name...
He was just Anakin.
And there was one person who always saw him that way.
Aria Naberrie, the younger sister of Senator Padmé Amidala, was everything Anakin Skywalker was not. Where he was impulsive, she was patient. Where he was consumed by fear, she was guided by peace. A gifted Jedi with an extraordinary connection to the Force, Aria was known throughout the Temple as its brightest light-and the one person who could calm the storm inside Anakin.
They were best friends before they were anything else.
Training partners.
Confidants.
Two Padawans who grew up side by side, believing they could change the galaxy.
But the Force shows Aria a future she never wanted to see.
A future where the boy she loves falls.
A future where Anakin Skywalker becomes the darkness the Jedi feared.
When war begins and fear starts consuming Anakin, Aria faces the impossible choice: follow the path the Jedi taught her, or follow the person who has always been her home.
Because sometimes love can save someone.
And sometimes...
It can destroy you with them.
An Anakin Skywalker alternate universe exploring friendship, forbidden love, the Clone Wars, the fall of the Jedi, and the heartbreaking question:
What if the one person who could have saved Anakin chose to fall with him?
