Unknown to the average human world, there is a place where every supernatural being that fuels nightmares resides. Shielded completely from prying eyes, the only way in is to be captured. Thrown into servant training where you're reprogrammed to obey at their leisure until they no longer value you. There is no escape.
Born to that world with no name- only a number, Two Eighty-One understood what her future held and more. She was ready for it. However, when her auction day is cut short by someone powerful enough to buy a coveted object such as a pure-born servile hours before the bidding started; she is thrown into chaos.
She learns things she never thought were possible, discovers her mother's past, and begins to walk in her foot-steps. Suddenly, she is thrust into a future where she has to battle royal blood and save those who can not save themselves. All because she was passed a gene that caused her to do the one thing her former handlers never expected to be possible.
Defect.
