END OF A RAINBOW · PROLOGUE
Have you ever chased after a rainbow? Probably not. Only a fool would believe in such things. Chances are, you’ve probably read about the concept in a storybook once upon a time. Promises of discovering a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Riches have a way of blinding a person and removing one’s sense of reality. But what if you could have more than you ever imagined? Would you take it?
The cautious ones whisper that those who pursue the rainbow might never return, that they meet a destructive fate. Others claim it’s all in vain, or worse, a myth. But I’ve stood at the rainbow’s end, and let me tell you that it’s no myth.
Be warned, though — at some point, you will face the question above and the consequences of your decisions. Only those who catch the heart of it will truly understand.
This might seem like the beginning of a tragedy, but don’t be fooled quite so easily.

The figure on it, a legend at most and myth to others, cloaked from head to toe. No one knows how he looks until death creeps from his hands. He doesn’t creep in the shadows; he is the shadows himself! A man that carries what many want. Many would kill for, and many would die for it.
They say that men who walk in solitude across the desert are in search of one of two things: purpose, or death.

WILLIAM AUSTEN · PROLOGUE
Through the crowded streets came a man running as though the Devil himself was nipping at his heels. He was a large man with a shaven head. A bruiser in every meaning of the word. His pace was not towards something. But rather his urgency was to get away from something, or someone.
His name is William. Everyone knew of William Austen, a hard man with violence on his resume. His shirt splattered with blood, whose blood was only known to those that chased him.
He stood between his pursuers and a high-wire fence he couldn’t scale fast enough. His heart beats in his ear like a war drum as he thinks to himself: “What do they say? It’s not the size of the dog in a fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. And now the Devil’s Dance. It’s been like this since the very beginning!”
