Get ready for the breath-taking sequel to The Diabolic - the novel that got everyone talking! `Nemesis is my kind of strong female character - she fights ruthlessly, she loves to the max and she even dances brilliantly. But is she human?'
Sally Green, author of Half Bad `A thrilling, pacy, addictive YA read'
Amy Alward, author of The Potion Diaries `Epic and electrifying'
Maximum Pop `With an adventurous, high-concept plot and emotionally complex characters,
The Diabolic is definitely one of the best YA books of the year'
Culturefly 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.
But having power isn't the same thing as keeping it, and change isn't always welcome. The ruling class has held control over planets and systems for centuries and they are not going to give up their power willingly, especially not to a teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who they consider nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress.
Nemesis knows she will protect Tyrus at any cost; he is the love of her life and they are partners in this new beginning. But she also knows she can't protect him by being the killing machine she once was. Instead 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... they might lose their lives.
Perfect for fans of
Sarah J. Maas, Victoria Aveyard and
George R.R. Martin, The Empress will take you on a thrilling ride, not letting go until the very last page.
