The Diabolic
“The perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.” —TeenVogue.com A New York Times bestseller! 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. A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for. Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia, and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as necessary to keep Sidonia safe. When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk everything. As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing that saves her life—and the empire.

"You won''t be able to put this book down." —Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Divergent series More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be important, though his shadowy life is anything but that. For years, Tom''s drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for their survival. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible. Then one day, Tom stops being invisible. Someone''s been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he''s offered the incredible—a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. There, Tom''s instincts for combat will be put to the test and if he passes, he''ll become a member of the Intrasolar Forces, helping to lead his country to victory in World War III. Finally, he''ll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. Life at the Spire holds everything that Tom''s always wanted—friends, the possibility of a girlfriend, and a life where his every action matters—but what will it cost him? Gripping and provocative, S. J. Kincaid''s futuristic thrill ride of a debut crackles with memorable characters, tremendous wit, and a vision of the future that asks startling, timely questions about the melding of humanity and technology.

A Diabólica
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.
