Star Wars: Leia, Princess of Alderaan is a young adult novel set within the continuity of the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It was written by Claudia Gray and published by Disney-Lucasfilm Press. It was released in hardcover, paperback, and e-book formats on September 1st, 2017. The story takes place three years prior to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and features the character of sixteen-year-old Princess Leia.
It is Leia Organa's sixteenth birthday and she participates in the traditional ceremony where she declares her intention to one day take the throne of Alderaan. But she's much more concerned about the way her parents are acting lately: lots of meetings and late dinners and not talking to her as much as they used to. Eventually she discovers the reason for their secrecy: their involvement in the increasingly organized rebellion. When Leia decides to become involved herself in the fight against the Empire, whether her parents approve or not, she will have to prove to them that she is a valuable asset who must be allowed to take a stand, regardless of the risk to herself. Her stand will also put her at odds with a pacifist young Alderaanian man who gives Leia her first kiss…and her first real loss.
