# Crimson Climb - Hardcover

by **E. K. Johnston** (Author)

**_New York Times_ bestselling author E. K. Johnston, author of the Queens series starring Padmé Amidala, brings fans an untold story about Qi'ra, portrayed by Emilia Clarke in _Star Wars: A Solo Story_.**

**Not everyone gets to be the hero.**

Qi'ra listened to the dreams and promises of a boy with a reckless smile, only to be torn away from him and returned to the White Worms gang while Han made his way to freedom. Now freedom seems like a luxury she can't afford while she concentrates on survival and despairs of ever leaving Corellia. But her fortunes seem to turn when a representative of the crime syndicate Crimson Dawn plucks Qi'ra from captivity and brings her to the syndicate's leader, the mysterious and mercurial Dryden Vos. Vos offers Qi'ra an opportunity she's never had before: the chance to build something resembling a comfortable life if she can prove her worth to his organization. With failure meaning certain death, Qi'ra knows she must immerse herself in the merciless, murderous world of Crimson Dawn. What she doesn't know is just who she will be if she survives. . . .

"An exquisite portrait of an intrepid character in the _Star Wars_ universe, Johnston's latest richly plots Qi'ra's ascent through Crimson Dawn with verve. . . . A propulsive read for fans of a galaxy far, far away." --_Kirkus Reviews_

### Author Biography

E.K. Johnston is the author of _The Afterward_, _Aetherbound_, _That Inevitable Victorian Thing_, and other YA novels, as well as the _Star Wars_ books _Queen's Hope, Queen's Peril, Queen's Shadow_, and _Ahsoka_. She had several jobs and one vocation before she became a published writer. If she's learned anything, it's that things turn out weird sometimes, and there's not a lot you can do about it. Well, that and how to muscle through awkward fanfic because it's about a pairing she likes. You can follow Kate on Twitter (@ek\_johnston) to learn more about Alderaanian political theory than you really need to know, on Tumblr (ekjohnston) if you're just here for the pretty pictures, or online at ekjohnston.ca.
