Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after – but this is no fairytale.

The first volume of Suji Kim's hit webnovel, now available in English print for the first time, is a captivating story that challenges the traditional fairy tale narrative. Lady Maximilian, the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, is rarely allowed outside her family's sprawling castle due to her stutter, which her father fears will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a low-born 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 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, that longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat 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.
