This first ever Star Wars YA romance from New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston features all-new characters (plus cameos!), a magnetic attraction, a mysterious artifact, and the fearsome First Order.

Ardent Quay has spent her entire life on her family’s tour ship, the Starfarer, finding comfort in the predictable journeys. But everything changes when a planetside trip to find a rare installment of her favorite romance serial puts her on a collision course with a fast-talking Wild Spacer on the run from the First Order.

Sian has black eyes speckled with stars and represents everything Ardent has never experienced: intrigue, danger, uncertainty—and attraction. He convinces her to let him stow away on the Starfarer so he can return a precious artifact to its homeworld, in the kind of adventure she’s only ever read about.

But with the First Order hot on their tail, the danger is all too real. This is a terrible time to take a tour of the galaxy. And an even worse time to fall in love.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Set between Episodes VIII and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey’s lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.

“An essential piece of Star Wars storytelling.”—Collider

After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed. Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey’s teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia’s knowledge is limited, Rey’s lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch when she herself is unsure of the way?

But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey’s saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there—and to her surprise, so does Leia.

Rey and Leia’s nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete. As they work to unravel the temple’s mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst. With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

The open web is arguably the world’s most vital invisible utility–and it is under siege.

We have traded a free internet for a collection of walled gardens. Today, a handful of digital landlords use algorithms to dictate our reality, while closed AI threatens to change the ways we connect. We are at a breaking point: we can either let gatekeepers continue to consolidate their power, or we can reclaim the open source spirit that built the web in the first place.

The future of the internet is being decided right now and it needs our help.

From acclaimed director Bao Nguyen (BTS, Be Water, The Greatest Night in Pop), Code for the People is a documentary short exploring the past, present, and contested future of the open web.

While more than 40% of the internet runs on open source WordPress, this film is about something much bigger than software. It is a cinematic interrogation of what the internet is actually for, who gets to own it, and what it takes to keep it free.

Releasing Summer 2026 with flagship premieres in San Francisco and New York taking place in July.

The web belongs to all of us. Help build and support what comes next by getting involved.
