NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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.

“Currently the most popular romantasy webnovel . . . Under the Oak Tree is a Korean romantasy with intense emotional depth, weaving trauma and love in a medieval setting. [It] explores the internal and external struggles of Lady Maximillian and Sir Riftan in a fraught, evolving marriage.”—Bleeding Cool, in praise of Under the Oak Tree (The Comic)

Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t 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 as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors 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, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s 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.

This volume collects chapters 1-76 of the original webnovel by Suji Kim.

Wonderful

This series is a great read and the narrator did a fantastic job with her performance!

A Delightful & Fun Love Story

Bringing this webcomic to life through this audio was truly enjoyable. The narrator does a fantastic job with pacing & her different voices for each of the characters. She's exactly how I imagined the voice of Maxi to sound. Overall the story, the characters and plot are easy to follow, fun & funny. We all need a Riftan & every Riftan needs a Maxi. Can't wait for Volume 2 in May :)

Loved the story

Loved the story line and the narrator was very good. Wish to know when will volume 2 be available!!

A good novel

It was lovely I was looking for this in the novel form and I was super pleased by the narration on the audible book.

One of my favorite stories

I'm so excited that one of my favorite web novels is now an audiobook. I feel like the audio adds more to the novel. The narration was great!

I can't wait for the rest of the novels to be released.

One of my favorite books

I can’t get enough of this book. I read the comic, brought the kindle version, hardcover version, comic version and now it’s finally on my favorite platform -Audible! I have been waiting forever for this and it did not disappoint.

I won’t spoil anything but I love this story because I feel like it’s one of the few romances where the female lead really earns and deserves the love she receives. She is flawed but she learns and grows a lot throughout the series.

Blown Away

I have been trying to find this exact story for years! I had originally read the early parts of this story on another platform but lost access. When I saw it available here, I become so excited! The voice performance is outstanding, you can clearly distinguish the various character voices, it's read in such a way to draw you in and not want to stop listening. Maxie and Riften are such intriguing characters, who are both seemly feeling the same but unable to share those feelings with each other. I highly recommend this to anyway who enjoys romances that take place in a castle of olden times.

Cute story

Found this originally as a cartoon from an app of reading the story and loved the plot! When I saw it as a book, I knew I needed to read it as well to see if there was any missing piece - which there wasn’t. Either way, good quick read or listen if you’re an audiobook person like me - and I can’t wait for book 2!

The Characters

I absolutely love the character development in this book! Watching them grow was so heart warming, and I absolutely love how much adoration is between the main couple, makes me squeal

Love

If you like Under the Oak Tree this audio book did a great job. The narrator had a very calming voice that gives the story a new life. This is one of my favorite stories for character growth. I can't wait for the full series to be released.
