In the “intense and captivating” (Kirkus Reviews) conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Diabolic series, the Empire teeters on the edge of destruction as rumors spread that Nemesis is still alive. Three years ago, Tyrus Domitrian shocked the galaxy by killing the woman he swore to love forever. The woman for whom he upended the Empire. The woman with whom he wanted to build a new and brighter future. Now, the once-idealistic heir apparent has become the cruel Emperor Tyrus, wielding his authority with an iron fist, capable of destroying planets with a single word, controlling all technology with a simple thought. He has bent the Grandiloquy to their knees, and none has the power to stand against him. But there is a muttering among the Excess. They say that Nemesis is not truly gone. They whisper of her shadow spotted in distant star systems. They say that Nemesis lives. That she will rise and rally the people to topple the man who was once her truest love—and is now her fiercest enemy.

UM DIABÓLICO É IMPLACÁVEL. UM DIABÓLICO É PODEROSO. UM DIABÓLICO TEM APENAS UMA MISSÃO: MATAR PARA PROTEGER A PESSOA PARA A QUAL ELE FOI DESENVOLVIDO. Desenvolvida para proteger. Destinada a destruir. Nemesis é uma Diabólica, uma jovem humanoide criada para proteger Sidonia, a filha de um Senador galáctico. As duas cresceram juntas, mas não são de maneira nenhuma irmãs. Nemesis deve dar sua vida por Sidonia se necessário, o que ela faria com prazer. Para manter Sidonia segura, ela também mataria se fosse preciso. Quando o poderoso e louco Imperador, figura política mais importante da galáxia, descobre que o pai de Sidonia está participando de uma rebelião, ele convoca Sidonia para a Corte Imperial. Agora, ela deve servir de refém e existe apenas uma maneira de Nemesis proteger Sidonia: ela deve assumir o lugar da filha do Senador. Nemesis viaja para a Corte disfarçada de Sidonia – uma máquina de matar imersa em um mundo de intrigas e políticos corruptos. É um ninho de víboras com ameaças por todos os lados, mas Nemesis deve manter suas verdadeiras habilidades em segredo ou estaria arriscando tudo. À medida que o Império começa a ruir e a rebelião se aproxima, Nemesis descobre que há algo mais para ela do que apenas uma força mortal. Ela percebe uma humanidade mais verdadeira em si do que encontra na maioria dos humanos. E em meio a todo o perigo, ação e intriga, sua humanidade pode ser aquilo que salvará a sua vida – e o Império.

The thrilling sequel to S.J. Kincaid’s New York Times bestselling novel, The Diabolic, which TeenVogue.com called “the perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.” It’s a new day in the Empire. Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward—one where they don’t have to hide or scheme or kill. One where creatures like Nemesis will be given worth and recognition, where science and information can be shared with everyone and not just the elite. But having power isn’t the same thing as keeping it, and change isn’t always welcome. The ruling class, the Grandiloquy, has held control over planets and systems for centuries—and they are plotting to stop this teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who is considered nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress. Nemesis will protect Tyrus at any cost. He is the love of her life, and they are partners in this new beginning. But she cannot protect him by being the killing machine she once was. She will have to prove the humanity that she’s found inside herself to the whole Empire—or she and Tyrus may lose more than just the throne. But if proving her humanity means that she and Tyrus must do inhuman things, is the fight worth the cost of winning it?
