Under the Oak Tree (Novel) Books in Order

Forced into marriage with lowborn knight Riftan, Lady Maximilian expects little happiness before he leaves for war. His return three years later brings unexpected desire and a new home where she must learn to trust herself and her own voice.

As Maximilian grows more confident in her marriage and magical studies, a visit from Princess Agnes unsettles her new life. The powerful sorceress’s history with Riftan introduces difficult feelings and political complications that could reshape their relationship.

Waiting in a monastery while Riftan goes to war, Maximilian tends displaced villagers but struggles with fear for her husband. Her decision to seek him at the battlefield exposes her to monsters, painful memories, and threats to their marriage.

Born into poverty, young Riftan Calypse finds brief comfort in glimpses of the duke’s daughter. After tragedy drives him from home, he joins mercenaries and rises toward knighthood, carrying memories of her through increasingly dangerous battles.
