Description
In "The Shattered Peace" by Jude Watson, the planets Rutan and Senali maintain peace through a tradition of exchanging firstborn children at the age of seven. When Leed, the heir to the Rutan throne, is sent to Senali, he discovers he does not want to return home, but his father is determined to bring him back at any cost. Jedi knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi must intervene to prevent the growing rift between the two planets from escalating into war.
