Der lang erwartete Abschluss der Diabolic-Reihe! Achtung: Der Klappentext enthält Spoiler für den zweiten Band. Zum Entsetzen der gesamten Galaxie hat Tyrus Domitrian vor drei Jahren die Frau getötet, der er ewige Liebe geschworen hatte. Die Frau, für die er das Imperium auf den Kopf gestellt hat. Die Frau, mit der er eine bessere Zukunft für alle aufbauen wollte. Inzwischen hat sich der früher so idealistische Thronerbe in den grausamen Herrscher Tyrus verwandelt. Er regiert mit eiserner Hand. Ein Wort von ihm reicht, um Planeten zu zerstören, und er kontrolliert alle technischen Anlagen mit der Kraft seiner Gedanken. Doch bei den Menschen im Überschuss gibt es Gerede. Sie sagen, dass Nemesis nicht wirklich gestorben ist. Sie flüstern, dass ihr Schatten in fernen Sternensystemen gesehen wurde. Sie behaupten, dass Nemesis lebt! Dass sie sich wieder erheben und gemeinsam mit ihnen den Mann stürzen wird, der einst ihre einzig wahre Liebe war – und heute ihr erbittertster Feind ist.
