The Obsessed Mage and His Beloved Statue Bride: She Cannot Resist His Seductive Voice (Manga) Vol. 1

Royal mage Lara Bradley and her foul-mouthed apprentice Alistair were tasked with defeating a low-risk monster, but what they found instead was an elder dragon hungry for their magical essence. Out of options and desperate to save her young charge, Lara plays decoy the only way she knows how: by turning herself to stone before she’s swallowed whole.

Twenty years later, she awakens perfectly preserved in a world that has since moved on—except for Alistair. The troubled youth she once knew has grown into a powerful mage whose boyhood crush on his mentor has festered into an all-consuming obsession. Now, Lara must face the man whose love has become her greatest peril.
