Star Wars: Breakthrough

Summary:

Knowing the future is one thing. Living it is a death sentence.
Serena Vaen knows the Star Wars galaxy like the back of her hand. She's memorized every star chart, survived every Legends novel, and can quote the trilogies word-for-word. But when a mysterious ancient tome appears out of nowhere, a playful "what if" spell turns into a reality-shattering nightmare.
In a heartbeat, the smells of her bedroom are replaced by the metallic tang of ozone and the deafening roar of a trillion souls. Serena isn't in her living room anymore. She's standing on the gleaming, dangerous heights of Coruscant.
Armed with nothing but a hoodie and a head full of "spoilers" that haven't happened yet, Serena is the most dangerous person in the Republic. She knows who the Sith Lord is. She knows when the clones will turn. And she knows that in a city of secrets, her knowledge is a target.
As she travels through the neon-lit Underworld, Serena must decide: Does she play by the rules of the story she loves, or does she tear the timeline apart to save herself?
The Force has a new variable. And she's about to make a lot of noise.

That's what I thought.

I knew the name of the Sith before the Jedi ever whispered it.

I knew which friends would become enemies.

I knew the exact moment the sky would burn.

And I still wasn't ready.

They say the Force binds the galaxy together.

What they don't tell you is that it also binds you to your choices.

I wasn't supposed to be there.

Not on Tatooine.

Not in the Temple.

Not in his life.

But I was.

And when you know how a story ends, you start believing you can outsmart it.

You can't.

Some futures fight back.

Some destinies demand blood.

And sometimes... the person you were trying to save is the one who pays the price.

If I could go back, I would tell myself something that I never understood until now: Knowing the future is one thing.

Living it— That's a death sentence.

And if you don't believe me...I'll tell you the story of how I made everything worse, the story of how I transformed into something I was never supposed to be...

The story of how I lost the love of my life.

And the person I used to be.

Forever.

It began with a single choice— a moment of curiosity I thought was harmless. And the Force answered— in a galaxy far, far away...
