It's been twenty years since the infamous Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won their game together, twenty years since the flame of rebellion was stomped on. But the 94th games might bring change, when a young girl's name is called across the square on the 4th of July. Her life will never be the same. She will never be the same. And she'll never be known again as the small, innocent girl from twelve. Her name, is Almond Lin.

Small spoilers to the orignal trilogy and the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
