The Paper Bride of Olenka Tower

I, Anja Volkov, have spent my life charting the forgotten paths of the world, content to be invisible. But when the titan Krov family threatens my younger brother's future to settle an old score, my invisibility becomes a liability. Their offer is simple: marry the gentle, sidelined heir of the rival Koslov dynasty, become their pawn inside the monolithic Olenka Tower, and my brother walks free. They think they've bought a quiet, unassuming map-maker. They have no idea my mind sees the world not as land and sea, but as a network of systems, loopholes, and attack vectors. The Koslovs, my new family, are a mess of ambition and incompetence, easy to manipulate. My new husband, Kirill, is kind but utterly neutered by his relatives. And the Krovs are waiting for me to pass them the key to the corporate kingdom. But the more I chart the intricate power dynamics of this family, the more I realize the Krov matriarch isn't just seeking revenge; she's trying to prevent a catastrophe only she can see coming. They all see me as a paper bride, easily torn and discarded, but what happens when the map becomes more dangerous than the territory?
