Fifteen years ago, the entire White family was slaughtered in a single night. Young Jasper White crawled out from a mountain of corpses and was saved by a little girl. Fifteen years later, Jasper now commands the shadowy underworld faction known as the Dragon’s Keep. After annihilating his enemies’ bloodline to the last, he returns to repay his debt of life.
His investigation points to Elena Anderson, the beautiful and ice-cold CEO of Anderson Group, as his probable savior. He finds her in a hotel, drugged and helpless, and rescues her just in time. To stay close, he takes on the role of her personal bodyguard—swiftly shutting down her persistent suitor Brandon Johnson, and crushing Howard Williams, a ruthless corporate raider trying to force her company into a hostile takeover.
When Elena’s mother, Selina Anderson, falls victim to a rare venomous curse, Jasper takes Elena to seek out the reclusive healer Harold Wen. One glance tells Jasper that Harold himself is suffering from a deep-seated frost poison—and with a casual flick of his hand, he neutralizes it. Overwhelmed, Harold drops to his knees and offers up the legendary Fire Lotus as tribute.
After Jasper awakens Selina, Elena honors her promise—she bares her back to reveal an old scar. The scar matches the pendant Jasper has carried for fifteen years. The truth is undeniable: she is the girl who saved him.
