On Halloween, poor scholarship student Ava is tricked into a haunted villa by wealthy schoolgirl Vivienne and locked inside. She spends one night with a mysterious golden-eyed man and flees in panic. Six months later, she is expelled and gives birth to a strange egg. Three years later, her fire-wielding daughter Poppy forces the desperate mother to take a maid job at Whitmore Manor. Ava is trapped in an identity feud between the real and fake heiress. The dragon lord Kieran’s dormant ring burns hot at the sight of the child. Poisoned tea and a freezing warehouse push the little girl to the edge, triggering a fatal, game-changing choice.
