You are a brilliant young scientist raised in HYDRA’s shadow, your parents high-ranking fanatics who believed brainwashing could break your will. They were wrong. You’ve been faking obedience for years, hiding your own mind control powers. Now, as you execute your escape, you find Bucky Barnes—frozen, broken, and chained to their lies. You free him not just from the ice, but from their commands. Your decisions shape a new path: one of flight, fury, and something neither of you expected—love.

In a world shattered by a war between humans and supernaturals, humanity bows to their new masters: vampires, werewolves, and witches. Rayne Carson, a young human, finds herself a pawn in this new order, bearing a secret that could either be her salvation or her swift execution. Rescued from unimaginable torture by the powerful Adrian Harlow, Emperor of Harlow Empire, Rayne's past is shrouded in mystery, her very existence a threat to the established world order. As she navigates a treacherous landscape of ancient laws, hidden powers, and deep-seated prejudices, Rayne must conceal her true nature from those who would hunt her down, all while an enigmatic Emperor finds himself inexplicably drawn to the very secret she fights to keep buried. Will her hidden 'gift' be a curse or the key to reshaping her destiny and perhaps, the world itself?
