Suji Kim Under the Oak Tree, Vol. 1 (novel) Hardback Book

Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happilyeverafter but this is no fairytale. The first volume of Suji Kims hit webnovel, now available in English print for the first time. Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her familys sprawling castle for fear her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her fathers schemes, Maxi doesnt dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned a war hero. To Maxis surprise, despite rumours that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, that longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat Riftans presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless. | Suji Kim Under the Oak Tree, Vol. 1 (novel) Hardback Book
