Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after--but this is no fairytale. The first volume of the official webcomic based on the hit webnovel by Suji Kim.
When stuttering Lady Maximilian is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her fathers schemes, her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin. Riftan leaves for war the morning after their disastrous wedding night, and its three years before Maxi sees him again.
Now, the husband she barely knows is a war hero. And when he comes home to claim her, Maxi will need to master her own bewildering desire--and Riftans--before she can hope to become the true mistress of their enormous castle estate. That task will demand courage from Maxi, even as she struggles to find her own voice.
The darkest secrets are the ones we hide from ourselves... Ten years ago, traumatized by her father's death, Lucy left her home and her country. Now, she returns to her family's rambling lakeside home to lay old ghosts to rest. However, sleepless one night, she makes a momentous discovery. Locked in a moonlit window seat is a collection of family heirlooms - objects whose secrets no one was ever supposed to find. Piecing together her family's true history, she realises that the story she has always been told was a fiction. And the more she uncovers, the more Lucy comes to question her own life choices - including why it is that her first lover, Keegan Fall, has never left her heart . . . Mesmerizing and haunting, The Lake of Dreams is a startling story of family secrets and lies, lost love and redemption, and of the many pieces and puzzles that make up a life.
