Success comes with a price, often paid in blood from "summary" of Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff
In the world of "Fates and Furies," success is a double-edged sword, sharp and gleaming on one side, stained with blood on the other. To achieve greatness, sacrifices must be made, often at great personal cost. The characters in this story understand this all too well, as they navigate the treacherous waters of ambition and desire. The price of success is not always obvious at first. It can be subtle, creeping up on you like a shadow in the night. But as the characters in this novel discover, success demands payment in full, with interest. Every victory comes with a price tag attached, and it is up to the individual to decide if they are willing to pay it. The blood that is shed in the pursuit of success is not always literal, though it can be. It is the blood of relationships strained to the breaking point, of dreams deferred and sacrifices made. It is the blood of the soul, spilled in the name of achievement and recognition. The characters in "Fates and Furies" understand that success is a ruthless master, demanding loyalty and obedience at every turn. It is a force to be reckoned with, one that will stop at nothing to achieve its goals. And those who dare to defy it do so at their own peril. In the end, the price of success is always paid, one way or another. Whether in blood or tears, sacrifice or compromise, the cost is high. And those who are willing to pay it may find themselves standing on the summit of their dreams, looking down at the world below with a mixture of pride and regret.
