“By the rough wind, By the Wounded Heart. As if the world only asks me to fall, only endless darkness…”
Told in present/past alternating chapters “By the Wounded Heart” is the exploration of falling hopelessly in love only to have it torn from you in an instance. But fate has different things in store for their love.
Athea Triggs and Akira Kaname fell in love throughout the last of their college life. But when something happens that causes Akira to go missing, Athea assumed he had left her. However, when starting to work at her dream job, she finds him again along with feelings she tried to get over.
The only issue was that he was in a coma. When he wakes up after a year when he hears he voice calling for him Athea realized that things were not going to be the same anymore. Not when Akira couldn’t remember his life before waking up.
With a second chance at hand, Athea now has to be the one to teach Akira once more that life isn’t always perfect but when you have the right person, it can be magical.
