Plot summary
This book covers in great detail the young queen's fears, doubts, and hopes as she fights to save her people. In traveling from planet to planet she does everything possible to insure her planet's security, while simultaneously seeking the balance in herself between the caring Padmé and the Noble Queen.

Continuity
There are some inconsistencies between the novella and the film The Phantom Menace. This may indicate that the novella was written before the film was completed.
- In scenes recounting events from the movie, the dialogue often differs.
- In the Senate scene, Alderaan is represented by Bail Organa, who did not succeed Bail Antilles in the office until some years later.
- Amidala's final entries make several references to Darth Maul, whose name was unknown to all of the protagonists at this point.
