After centuries on Earth searching for people like herself, Chloe knows that magic is a terrible burden. When she screams her loneliness to the void of space, she’s finally granted her wish of company as a group of magical humans appear and drag her through a portal to another planet in the future. However, their portal goes wrong and she struggles to survive alone until she’s rescued by a man as magical as she is.

Her rescuer, who is the leader of one of the ruling political parties of a galactic society, doubts her origins. To her horror, he forces awake a new magic within her that reveals the truth from her mind. She discovers she was conceived for a political purpose and that her exile to the past was orchestrated by the fascist leaders of a rival political party. Now they know she’s back, the fascists insist she help them remake the government, using her new magic that’s wrapped up in sex and mind control. Her rescuer repeatedly helps her resist the fascists’ control, but truly supporting her means risking impeachment or even assassination.

With the freedom of her new society in peril, Chloe must decide if she’s willing to risk enslavement to fully awaken her dangerous mental magic and if she’ll open her heart to the man who’s learning he’ll break every taboo to keep her safe.
