Melinoe Karma had everything planned-graduate, pass the board exams, and become a nurse. But fate had other plans. On the night of her graduation, a rejected admirer pushed her onto the train tracks. Yet, instead of death, time froze, and an unknown voice granted her a second chance.
Waking up in an unfamiliar world called Eden, a vast land ruled by beastmen and ancient bloodlines, Melinoe finds herself more than just a lost stranger-she is a rare pureblood human, a being of legend and power. But in this world, rarity means value, and value means being hunted, owned, or worse-sold.
Captured by ruthless merchants and thrown into a cage with a mysterious black leopard, Melinoe's survival depends on more than just luck. As she navigates through Eden's kingdoms filled with powerful rulers-each vying for her existence-she must uncover the secrets of her arrival, forge alliances, and resist the intoxicating pull of the beastmen who desire her for more than just her rarity.
In a world where beasts rule and humans are myths, will she become a queen or a captive?
