Aloe Mellark is the daughter to Katniss and Peeta. With her 12th birthday nearing and the Hunger Games soon after the family is on edge. Though it is only her first time to the reaping Katniss and Peeta feel that the odds may be rigged and President Snow may finally have his chance to make them pay for the havock they caused all those years ago. Just as they predicted Aloe was chosen as a tribute for District 12 but so is her old brother River. This time only one will be a champion, the question is who?

It's 2515 AD. The Earth has been overcome by disease, pollution and destruction. The human race is packing up their lives and transferring them to gigantic spaceships, set to leaving their home planet and searching for new ones among the stars. One of the very last ships is leaving Earth, and taking with it the whole of seventeen-year-old Alyvia's family. So then why is she left behind? Earth is starting to turn into the colour of Mars. The beautiful land has turned into ugly, plain rock. The crystal seas have transformed into sludge. And the clear, fresh air has been polluted to extinction, making it no longer breathable. Conditions are getting worse. The once loved planet is nearly uninhabitable. So how on Earth will Alyvia survive?
