Synopsis
Love is a double-edged sword which cuts through the bravest hearts. In the battlefield of love, one emerges victorious while another is left defeated to bear the scars of emotional atrocities. The cruel game of life dictates a winner and a loser, an unspoken rule of strength and weakness. The loser in love, like a wounded warrior, endures every trial, crosses burning bridges, and goes to extremes for a taste of love, even if fleeting.
Althea Hamilton, the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Helenia, had one wish– to be recognised by her father. For this wish, she burned all the bridges, took all trials of life and bore all the atrocities. However, her wish for her father's love or attention never came true.
It was only after his death, her half-brother came looking for her. Thinking that she might have a shot for family, she trusted the wrong people, only to be sacrificed by the so-called family for a marriage alliance.
Althea was always the loser in love, be it her father's love or her husband's love.
When she thought that her story ended when her husband threw her to be eaten alive by a human beast, she was given a bizarre and unexpected second chance at life.
This time, Altha chose to cast her heart into a stone that no healer could heal and avenge her dishonored self. She swore to give the worst possible punishment to her culprits.
Yet, as she treads the dangerous path of vengeance, unexpected blossoms of love complicate her journey. In this tale of scars and second chances, the question looms: Will Althea emerge as a winner or succumb once again as the loser in love?

Write a reviewVery nice story about a girl who longs for love and approval from people around her. All she needs is acceptance from her father, but she is subjected to various struggle after struggle. It shows the typical quality of a girl. Very good character development and story, but I felt scenes could have been went a little slow burn in the start, this one felt like fast paced novel. Do read this story.... give it a shot as many of us can relate with the fl.... good job author san.
