Summary
Virella Thane was raised to be expendable.
A royal decoy of Naboo, she has spent her life wearing another woman’s face and accepting that if violence ever found her, it would be in the name of someone else. Composed, lethal, and quietly haunted by the past, she knows exactly what she was trained to be.
When Imperial remnants begin to surface beyond Naboo’s borders, she is sent off-world under the protection of a Mandalorian clad in unyielding beskar. He is bound by creed. She is bound by duty.
Both wear masks.
Both were shaped by war.
As political secrets unravel and old wounds reopen, the line between protection and something far more dangerous begins to blur. And when the cost of survival demands sacrifice once more, Virella must decide whether she is still willing to be the one who stands in front of the throne or if for the first time, she wants to be seen.
