Beatrice Nightlove was only fifteen when she won the 60th Hunger Games. A victory for District One, the little girl with the curious green eyes and her soft smile, who volunteered for her Games and strode onto the stage waving and grinning.
That girl, she's dead now.
Beatrice is thirty years old now and still suffering through what she went through in the arena. Her sleeping hours plague her with nightmares of the tributes from District Two turning on her in the night and leaving her bleeding and bruised. They thought she would die.
Spoiler alert, she didn't, and she came back with a rage unmatched. She killed her former allies, luring them to the Cornucopia for the final blood bath. And she may have almost got herself killed in the process, but she won, and that's all that matters. The youngest victor the Hunger Games had seen.
She became a mentor, she coached Gloss and Cashmere to victories, leaving District One with three victories in five years. That would all change the year of the 65th Games, where fourteen-year-old Finnick Odair pulled off a win and landed himself as the new youngest victor. Beatrice had to admit, she was jealous. Twenty years old, jealous of a little boy who had no idea what he was going to get himself into the moment he stepped onto Ceasar Flickerman's stage for his victory interview.
The 75th Hunger Games marks the third Quarter Quell, and the twist is one that leaves Beatrice terrified:
The victors will be reaped again, forced to fight again, and this time, they can't all survive. It was once a promise that winning the Games would leave them set for life, but that life is cut short.
Beatrice Nightlove will do whatever it takes to survive one more time, but Finnick Odair... well, let's just say that he complicates things.
