Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the weight of past mistakes or feeling like their identity has been defined by others. It is an ideal choice for the young person who is trying to reconcile who they were with who they want to become, especially when transitioning out of a high-pressure or restrictive environment. The story follows Finn and Jannah, two former soldiers who escaped a cruel regime, as they track down a kidnapper to save the next generation from the same fate. Beyond the Star Wars action, this is a deep dive into the psychology of redemption, the burden of guilt, and the courage required to claim your own agency. It is developmentally appropriate for ages 12 and up, offering a sophisticated look at moral ambiguity and the power of chosen family.
