I thought about the odds now. Maybe they weren't so great, but after all I had been through, I knew something had to be in my favor. Noah Albedo was perfectly fine with her life, avoiding the people she didn't like, spending time with the people she did. But her entire future is derailed when her name is called at the Reaping Ceremony. Now she'll have to face an unforgiving arena, a sadistic district partner, twenty-two other teenagers and cameras surrounding her at all times as she enters the 25th Hunger Games. Oh the odds.

It's been decades since the second rebellion. The Games continue, the Capitol has a new president. Ever since I can remember, my father convinced me to train for the Hunger Games. The time has finally come. This year is going to be my year. I'm ready. I can do it, I can go into the Hunger Games and take it all. The 107th Hunger Games is mine for the taking, and nobody is going to stop me from being crowned victor. They'll die trying.
