captured on Lah’mu a year later. Now, Galen is forced once again into
work on the Death Star, with him and his family held against their will
on Coruscant. When Jyn starts acting up and causing Galen’s work to
suffer, Krennic forces her to marry his biographer Willix – in reality

do so, Cassian has to play his part, a despicable Imperial Jyn can’t
help but hate. Over time, though, she finds her hate slipping away and
changing into something else – and Cassian can’t help feeling drawn to
her as well. Still, Jyn must be careful, because in the heart of the
corrupt Empire, it is far too easy to be deceived…
