For sixteen-year-old Cordelia Vance, the rules of District 4 were simple: Swim hard, mend the nets, and never look a Peacekeeper in the eye. She already knew the devastating cost of the Capitol's stage; she had watched her cousin, Annie Cresta, return from the arena as a fractured ghost. Cordelia never planned on following her footsteps. But an August birthday makes her a legal anomaly-sixteen on paper, but carrying the lethal precision of a true District 4 Career. When her name is pulled for the 73rd Hunger Games, the burden of survival shifts to Finnick Odair. As her mentor, he must teach her how to charm the sponsors who want to own her and blooden the hands she used to weave fishing lines. Forced into an arena where the waters run red, Cordelia must outsmart the older Careers and survive the Capitol's cruelest traps. Because she isn't just fighting to make it back to the ocean-she's fighting to see her seventeenth birthday.

They call District 4 Careers. They call them volunteers. They call them killers. Caylee Fjord has never called herself any of those things. At sixteen, in her third to last year of being eligible for the reaping, Caylee has spent her life rejecting everything District 4 stands for. She doesn't train for the Games. She doesn't glorify them. She doesn't pretend they're anything but what they are-barbaric. But in Panem, you don't get to choose your fate. When Caylee is reaped for the 68th Hunger Games alongside her cousin, Adrian Fjord, everything she's avoided comes crashing down around her. Now, she's forced into a world she's spent her whole life despising. Guided by two victors who couldn't be more different-quiet, watchful Mags Flanagan, and Finnick Odair, the Capitol's dazzling golden boy with a smile that hides more than it reveals-Caylee is thrown into the heart of the Capitol. Where survival is a performance. Where love is dangerous. And where losing yourself might be the only way to stay alive. They were sent to train. They were sent to fight. They were sent to die.

Lillanna "Lilli" Cresta has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Annie-gentle, fragile, and already haunted by the Capitol's cruelty. So when Annie's name is called at the reaping for the 70th Hunger Games, Lilli doesn't hesitate. She volunteers. Thrown into an arena designed to break even the strongest, Lilli is forced to grow up fast. She witnesses horrors no one should ever see-her district partner brutally killed before her eyes-leaving her with one instinct: survive. She runs. She hides. She endures. When the arena floods, turning the battlefield into a deadly ocean, Lilli's one advantage becomes clear-she's the strongest swimmer among them. But survival comes at a cost. As the Games change her, piece by piece, Lilli finds herself entangled in a world far bigger than the arena-one of rebellion, loss, and impossible choices. And somewhere in the chaos, a connection forms with Finnick Odair... one that might save her-or destroy them both. From the 70th Hunger Games to the fall of the Capitol, Lilli's story is one of survival, resilience, and what it truly means to endure. ⚠️ Disclaimer I do not own The Hunger Games series or its characters, settings, or original storyline.
