The Ancient Magus' Bride

Chise Hatori has spent her fifteen years unwanted and unloved.

He takes her to the English countryside and declares that she will not be his slave, but his apprentice—and his bride. Thrust into a world of fairies, dragons, and ancient magic, Chise begins to learn the ways of a mage.
