Un diabolic non conosce la pietà. Un diabolic è potente. Un diabolic ha un solo compito: proteggere la persona per la quale è stato creato. E per farlo è disposto a tutto. Per Nemesis questa persona è Sidonia, unica erede del senatore von Impyrean, noto in tutta la galassia per i suoi contrasti con l'Imperatore. Anche se sono cresciute insieme, l'una accanto all'altra, il loro non è un rapporto tra pari. Nemesis, se necessario, darebbe la vita per Sidonia. E non esiterebbe a eliminare chiunque ne mettesse in pericolo la sicurezza. Sidonia, infatti, è tutto il suo universo. Senza di lei, la diabolic non avrebbe ragione di esistere. Perciò quando l'Imperatore della galassia, uomo crudele e assetato di potere, convoca Sidonia a corte con l'intento di prenderla in ostaggio e colpire così il padre ribelle, a Nemesis non resta che una soluzione per proteggerla: sostituirsi a lei e partire alla volta del palazzo imperiale. Una volta lì, mentre l'incombere della ribellione inizia a far tremare l'Impero, Nemesis si ritrova catapultata in un mondo di individui ambigui e corrotti, e scopre così in sé un'umanità ben più profonda di quella trovata tra i cosiddetti esseri umani. Ciò che ancora non sa è che proprio questa potrebbe essere la chiave per salvare se stessa e forse anche l'Impero...
