The country of Panem has been a dark place since the first rebellion years ago. Now, as punishment for their uprising, each year two female and two male tributes are sent into the arena to fight to the death in the Hunger Games, a bloodbath broadcasted for all of Panem. Cyra Merison, a fifteen year old girl from District Four has been an outcast since she was a child. With her fiery personality and bright violet eyes, she's never been part of the 'in' crowd. Not to mention, she's entirely against the Capitol in every way. Alia Fletson, a sixteen year old girl from District Two, has been training for the Hunger Games her entire life. Along with her best friend Cato Demeir, they make an unstoppable team. And then there's Gale Hawthorne. The poor boy from District Twelve, who has a secret that could change the course of a lifetime forever. When the four collide, rivalries are instantly formed, boundaries are crossed, and things seem to spiral out of control. But maybe this isn't for the worst. People can always come together in different ways, and come together to stand up for what is right. Everything happens for a reason, after all...

"I used to wish she'd care.. used to wish she'd love me.. But then I just started wishing she would leave me alone." Genesis grew up being hated. Not by kids she went to school with- she didn't even go to school. Instead, she was hated by the only person she had left in her life; her mother. It's a struggle, living on your own at the age of seventeen. Especially if you don't even have a place to live. So what happens when you've got no where to go, no place to sleep at night? What happens when you've run out of money, out of hope, out of the will to live? What happens when Genesis is left alone, bleeding in an alley way? What happens when Niall Horan falls in love with her? Well, you better Hold Your Breath.
