The Onyx Dove's Deception

I stood at her funeral, a ghost in a life that wasn't mine. To the world, I am Karolina Sienko, the docile heiress set to marry into the formidable Volkov dynasty, a political alliance meant to merge two empires. But the real Karolina, my brilliant, kind best friend, lies in that polished casket. She was murdered, and I know her new family is responsible. Now, I wear her face, answer to her name, and walk into the lion's den armed with my own secret weapon: I am 'Nyx', a ghost in the machine, a hacker who can peel back the layers of code that protect the Volkovs' darkest secrets. My new husband, the cold and calculating Adrian Volkov, sees me as nothing more than a beautiful ornament, a decorative part of our business deal. He has no idea that the quiet woman on his arm is dismantling his family's empire from the inside out. But as I dig deeper, I uncover a conspiracy far more sinister than I imagined, and Adrian, with his unnervingly sharp gaze, is starting to notice the cracks in my performance. Can I expose the killer and avenge Karolina before my own identity shatters and I become the dynasty's next victim?
