The Courtship of Princess Leia

The Courtship of Princess Leia - Dave Wolverton

he Courtship of Princess Leia is a sweeping Star Wars adventure that blends political intrigue, romance, and military conflict, set several years after the fall of the Empire. The novel explores a turbulent moment in the early days of the New Republic, when victory over the Empire has not yet brought stability, and old loyalties are tested by new political realities.

At the heart of the story is Princess Leia Organa, who carries the enormous responsibility of helping rebuild a galaxy shattered by war. As she searches for a new home for the surviving people of Alderaan, she finds herself drawn into the complex and dazzling world of the Hapes Consortium, a wealthy and powerful matriarchal empire. The Hapans offer the New Republic a fleet so vast and advanced that it could change the balance of power overnight — but their generosity comes with a price. Their charismatic heir, Prince Isolder, proposes marriage to Leia, offering her not only political security but also a life of luxury and influence.
