Muggle-born orphan Ivy, abused and nearly sold by her guardians, scrubs floors at a magic school to pay tuition. Seized by them, she meets Lucian, a proud pureblood who lets no woman near, yet falls for her and saves her. They part; Delilah drugs her for a rival, and Ivy stumbles into his room, both misreading the other. A month later, pregnant.
