Diabolic series.
Now that Tyrus (The Diabolic) has claimed the throne, genetically engineered humanoid Nemesis is poised to become Empress--but not everyone accepts the idea of a "creature" like Nemesis in power. To prevent a coup, Nemesis must prove her humanity without resorting to her killer instincts. Info-dumping and complicated politics bog down the action somewhat, but fans will find this second entry in the dystopian trilogy compelling nonetheless.
