In a world rebuilt on the bones of the old, the Capitol rules with iron and spectacle. Every year, they gather the broken remnants of humanity to watch them kill each other in the Hunger Games-a show of power no one dares defy.
But this year is different.
When Daryl Dixon, the silent hunter of District 7, is chosen as a Tribute, everyone expects him to disappear into the trees and survive alone. When Negan Smith, the brutal legend of District 2, volunteers with a crooked grin, everyone expects a bloodbath.
No one expects them to team up.
No one expects them to refuse to play.
As alliances form and the Capitol tightens its grip, Daryl and Negan become the unlikeliest of partners-bound by the same unspoken promise: they will not become monsters.
In the arena's ruins and shadows, something begins to grow between them-a trust neither of them thought they deserved. A hunger not for violence, but for hope. For something more.
This is not a story of victory. This is a story of rebellion-and the two men who dared to love in the heart of the Games.
