Under The Oak Tree - Novel

Suji Kim

Lady Maximilian Croyso has spent her life hidden within her father’s castle, taught to believe that her stutter and lack of confidence make her unworthy of notice—or love. Bound by an arranged marriage to Riftan, a rough-hewn knight who leaves soon after their wedding, she is stunned when he returns three years later as a celebrated war hero and insists on reclaiming her as his wife. As Maxi enters the unfamiliar world of castles, knights, magic, and courtly intrigue, she must confront the fears that have shaped her and discover the courage, agency, and strength within her. Blending sweeping fantasy romance with themes of self-worth, communication, resilience, and personal transformation, this volume collects the opening chapters of the acclaimed webnovel.
