Prologue

This is the life of Helena Thenardier, when she first married Monsiour Thenardier. How sad she was when she was forced into a marriage. Her husband is a drunk and she must try to uphold the Inn, in fear of being thrown out onto the streets.

Her life turns from bad to worse when her husband turns to stealing and she is forced into his diabolical plans. And when she does eventually break free from him, she must let all she loves go.

(This is the prequel to Colour of Desire and follows roughly the same story line)
