Fate never pitied him, he steadfastly endured all the blows when she, broken and burned, laughed viciously in his face. He always believed that he would break through, break out. He was broken more than once in this life, his veins were twisted, he was beaten more than once, smearing sticky, salty blood across his face. He died more than once, gasping for air, but still got out of it. Nine years later, he returns home, having served time for the murder of his sister’s rapist, bearing the stigma of a murderer, to his family and believes that everything is left behind. But is it? The story is a prologue from the novel "Five", which includes the events of the first book.
