In the aftermath of the 73rd Hunger Games, District 12 is still haunted by the names Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark - the victors who challenged the Capitol and survived. But while the district whispers about rebellion and romance, Ivy Mellark is trying to survive something much simpler: her own life.
Seventeen-year-old Ivy is loud where others are quiet, reckless where others are careful, and far too stubborn for her own good. Between working in her family's bakery, slipping beyond the fence to hunt with Gale Hawthorne and Katniss, and pretending her home life doesn't affect her, Ivy has spent years building herself into someone unbreakable.
Then the 74th Hunger Games changes everything.
Forced into the arena alongside fellow District 12 tribute Ash Vale, Ivy quickly becomes something the Capitol can't resist: beautiful, dangerous, and impossible to look away from. As the Games turn brutal, the Capitol pushes the story of Ivy and Ash harder with every interview, every touch, every moment caught on camera.
But back in District 12, Gale watches the girl he's loved for years become someone the entire country suddenly claims to know.
The Capitol wants a love story.
The arena wants blood.
And Ivy is starting to realize survival might cost far more than her life.
