The Ancient Magus' Bride

Step into a world where ancient magic intertwines with the mundane, as Chise Hatori, a young woman with a troubled past, finds herself purchased for five million pounds at an auction. Her buyer is Elias Ainsworth, a mysterious, non-human magus whose very existence blurs the lines between man and beast. Rather than a slave, Chise becomes his apprentice and, to her surprise, his intended bride, thrust into a life she never imagined. This enchanting adventure follows Chise as she navigates a hidden England teeming with fae folk, dragons, and all manner of mystical beings. As she learns the intricate ways of magic from Elias, she also begins to unravel the mysteries of her own extraordinary abilities and her connection to this fantastical realm. A poignant tale of belonging, self-discovery, and an unconventional romance blossoms amidst the autumn leaves and the lingering shadows of a world both wonderous and dangerous.
