About the book: 2021 / Baroness Zoe Tokamak considered her emperor a tyrant and dictator. Public executions, repressions, exorbitant taxes and much more forced his subjects, if not to hate, then rightly to fear the cruel ruler. Zoe was no exception. When the invitation to select brides arrived, she was unpleasantly surprised, but she went, expecting to return soon. The girl did not even think about the possibility of becoming an empress. She just wanted to see the capital, visit famous museums, and reveal the secret of the mysterious northern continent, about which there were only frightening rumors. But Zoe had no idea that the truth was much worse than she could imagine.
