For seventeen years, Henry’s always been content with a cup of tea and a good book. But when he decides that he wants to write one of his own, he realizes he lacks something to write about. So, when the enigmatic Winter McLane transfers to his school, he thinks he may have finally found what he’s been looking for.

Every tribute has a story. Cato, on the outside, seems ruthless, murderous, terrible. You can't deny he's done terrible things. But it's what drives Cato, and his fellow tribute, Clove, to these extremes is what nobody knows. No one knows Cato's past--- what's transformed him, what's made him the killer he is. His story starts with an innocent, baby boy. And through a behind-the-scenes transformation, otherwise known as several years in an isolated area of the district, Cato, and Clove, become killers. But is there anything behind both their facades?
