Lillanna "Lilli" Cresta has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Annie-gentle, fragile, and already haunted by the Capitol's cruelty.
So when Annie's name is called at the reaping for the 70th Hunger Games, Lilli doesn't hesitate.
She volunteers.
Thrown into an arena designed to break even the strongest, Lilli is forced to grow up fast. She witnesses horrors no one should ever see-her district partner brutally killed before her eyes-leaving her with one instinct: survive.
She runs. She hides. She endures.
When the arena floods, turning the battlefield into a deadly ocean, Lilli's one advantage becomes clear-she's the strongest swimmer among them.
But survival comes at a cost.
As the Games change her, piece by piece, Lilli finds herself entangled in a world far bigger than the arena-one of rebellion, loss, and impossible choices.
And somewhere in the chaos, a connection forms with Finnick Odair... one that might save her-or destroy them both.
From the 70th Hunger Games to the fall of the Capitol, Lilli's story is one of survival, resilience, and what it truly means to endure.
