Nemesis, has been crafted in a lab, trained to kill, programmed to feel nothing other than her undying devotion for her master, a willingness to protect at all costs, but when circumstances require Nemesis to impersonate her master under dangerous circumstances, she begins to feel things that she never knew were possible, she begins to question whether she really is the monster she was always said to be.I don’t want to go much more into the detail of story because there are twists and turns aplenty, some predictable, others not, I will say that this book is violent at times, though it felt like any graphic scenes were necessary to illustrate Nemesis’s growth and also necessary for world-building, to establish just how cruel those in power are and why someone might risk everything to overthrow them. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life-and the empire. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything.Īs the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia-a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators’ children.

Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for.

Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens when a senator’s daughter is summoned to the galactic court as a hostage, but she’s really the galaxy’s most dangerous weapon in disguise.Ī Diabolic is ruthless. “The perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.”.
