Under the Oak Tree: Volume 3 (The Comic)

Their passion is undeniable, but can their love survive the winter? The third volume of the official webcomic based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Suji Kim.

As the first snow falls over Anatol, Maxi begins to settle into her new life as the wife of Riftan Calypse. But even as she makes progress in her magical studies with Ruth, her fear that Riftan will discover she’s not a proper noblewoman continues to darken her thoughts. Worse, she seems to unwittingly spark his temper at every turn.

With reports of monsters migrating into Anatolium and the prospect of noble guests arriving come spring, Maxi must prove her arcane skill to herself—and to the Remdragon Knights—in order to prepare for the new season ahead.

This volume collects episodes 46–64 of Under the Oak Tree, the #1 webcomic on MANTA.
