Sidra lives in the System. She belives that everything in the System is right and everthing in the Structure-the other part of the Empire-is wrong. She has dedicated her whole life to protecting the good name of her section of the Empire. Nothing can turn her. At least, not until she meets Nina-an outsider who lives on the border. Nina is just the wake up call that Sidra needs. The System and the Dux are alot more cruel than she thinks. And Nina is just the one who can prove it.
