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.

“The Underworld has a queen!” 
 
Persephone and Hades are finally reunited when the banished goddess of spring returns to the Underworld to claim her rightful place as queen. Now that Hades and Persephone have defeated and imprisoned the power-hungry Kronos once more, nothing can keep them apart, and years of being separated have only made their desire for each other grow. But the other Olympians can’t help but meddle, pushing the pair to make things official with a coronation – and a wedding. 
 
Ignoring the others who try to define their relationship, Hades and Persephone choose to take things at their own pace and focus on rebuilding the Underworld. They begin by investigating how Kronos was first able to escape, and they learn the horrifying truth that he has captured a powerful young god whose abilities help Kronos project his thoughts outside of Tartarus – thoughts he uses to plague Hera’s every waking moment. Though Kronos’ physical form is locked away, Olympus will never be free until they can rescue the child from the furious Titan’s grasp. 
 
To save the realms, Persephone must figure out her fertility goddess powers and embrace her role as Queen of the Underworld – even as it takes her further from her mother’s expectations and her former place in the Mortal Realm.

Under the best of circumstances, he would never allow his student to date his daughter, but as soon as he discovers that Max has real feelings for Juvelian, he makes plans to tear them apart. 
 
Those plans may have to wait, however, for the deranged emperor has schemes of his own, and in order to protect Juvelian, her father and Max might find themselves on the same side. What no one expects, of course, is for Juvelian to take matters of her fate entirely into her own hands...
