The Diabolic (Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2016) by S.J. Kincaid is an amazing story.
Nemesis is a diabolic–created to protect Sidonia. She’ll do anything to keep Donia safe, including killing. So when Nemesis is asked to impersonate teenage Donia at the Imperial Court, she’ll do that too out of love, even though it’s more like trying to make a tiger, or something worse, into a kitten.
Here’s the book trailer.
The exciting news is that a sequel is coming out this year in October. Looking forward to The Empress! S.J. Kincaid has also written the Insignia series, which I need to check out. Read about the author on her website.
