Hidden beneath masks and glamours too intricate to unravel, the Sterling Nightingale's self bestowed mission is to smuggle prisoners out of the Capitol to District 13, much to President Snow's fury. He hunts the spy endlessly, only to be continuously outwitted. The reason? He is not looking in the right places. Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not your standard Victor, after all. Finnick has always seen Sil as a brainless fop with nothing but air floating around in her head. For a fellow Victor, she certainly doesn't act the part. He's never given her the time of day, until his fate gets entwined with hers and their President seems to think that it would be a good idea to change all of that. Almost overnight, Finnick and Sil go from being complete strangers to being wildly in love. Of course Finnick doesn't actually love her. He could never fall for an idiot like her... ...until he does, and suddenly he realizes that Silver Lamprey Cornelius is not the woman he always saw her as. She is so much more. Fate is a strange mistress, and it seems that he is about to be swept up in its storm. Finnick/OC pairing. Scarlet Pimpernel inspired.

The 'Flower of Panem' or 'The Angel of Mercy', Seraphine Reza is the jewel and pride of Panem. One of their most treasured victors in the history of the Hunger Games and a favorite of President Snow. While she smiles, comforts and plays her part every time the games start again, in her mind, her own game never ended. She keeps her enemies close and plays the part of the perfect victor but what is perfection but not a result of chaos.

Book 2~ The Weight of Chains ** She wasn't perfect. She was flawed and wild and untamable. She was wicked and daring and often times uncaring and harsh and unkind. She was unlikable and unpredictable. By no means would anyone ever call her a saint or soft-hearted. Her body was covered in scars and she held a heart covered in thorns. She was the Wicked Wolfe with a Kiss of Death. To him, she was his Little Wolfe. She was Scarlet Wolfe from District 14. And Scarlet Wolfe, was the woman that he loved. ** He was perfection. His body was smooth marble coated in golden skin with green eyes capable of glimpsing souls. He was like a boulder on the edge of the Ocean; Solid and strong and unmovable. He was adored and loved by everyone. He was sweet and charming and smooth talking and often times too caring. He was the Capitol Darling with a Heart of Gold. To her, he was her Goldenboy. He was Finnick Odair from District 4. And Finnick Odair, was the man that she loved.
