King Y/N, the Black Panther and ruler of Wakanda’s Golden Tribe, travels to New York to investigate stolen vibranium surfacing on the black market. The trail leads him to Soleia Pierce, a brilliant engineering doctoral student who unknowingly purchases a fragment of vibranium, believing it to be a groundbreaking unknown metal. As her experiments trigger unusual energy reactions across the city, Y/N closes in on the source, forcing both of them toward a confrontation that will expose illegal trade networks and change their understanding of the metal—and each other.
