Under the Oak Tree: Volume 2 (The Novel)

By: Suji Kim

Narrated by: A. Jo

Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after—but this is no fairytale. The updated and official translation of Under the Oak Tree, the #1 webnovel on MANTA, continues in this second volume.

As her first winter in Anatol turns to spring, Lady Maximilian finds herself confronting an unfamiliar feeling: hope. Her voice and her magic strengthen every day; the only parts of Calypse Castle left to refurbish are its gardens, which she plans to fill with blooming flowers; and the way her husband, the recalcitrant war hero Sir Riftan, looks at her from across their bedroom makes her feel, for the first time in her life, that she might be worthy of love and affection.

However, Maxi's life is never that easy. Just as she begins to feel at home with Riftan, Maxi receives a surprise visit from Princess Agnes, the renowned sorceress who might have become Riftan's wife if he'd decided to divorce Maxi after the Dragon Campaign. Not at all what Maxi expected, the princess stirs up complicated emotions and politics that could lead to monumental changes in Maxi and Riftan's relationship.

This volume collects chapters 77-133 of the original webnovel by Suji Kim.

It's Okay

I'm a romance person and personally, I didn't find this romantic like other readers. The male character is insufferable and in most cases is abusive rather than romantic.
But the story itself is good and the side characters have good development. But if I had the choice again, I wouldn't purchase this series unless it was on sale. I will purchase book 3 as I do not like leaving a story unfinished

Great second book!

I love them so much the 2nd novel ❤️ I loved seeing maxis growth ✨️

Yes!!

Great book definitely should give it a read a good amount of spice great descriptions. I can’t say that I didn’t like everything was perfect if you like romance

The story is consistent and pleasant.

It seemed to be shorter and not as much satisfaction from the story's length and proceeding.

The way she stutters is so realistic.

I read the manhua and the novel multiple times and just can't get enough of this love story between Maxi and Riftan. I was over the moon to find out that it is in audible as well!!!
