In order to protect the person you've been created for.
FOR NEMESIS, that person is Sidonia, heir to the galactic Senate. But when the power-mad Emperor summons Sidonia to the Imperial Court as a hostage, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia: she must become her.
Now one of the galaxy's most dangerous weapons is masquerading amidst politicians and two-faced Senators' children, and Nemesis must find within herself the one thing she's been told she doesn't have— humanity. With the Empire beginning to fracture and rebellion looming, that could be the one thing that saves her and the Empire itself.
