Primrose Everdeen has always lived in the quiet shadow of her sister, but when her name is drawn at the 74th annual Hunger Games reaping, she is thrust into the spotlight of the Capitol's cruelest stage. Cato Hadley, on the other hand, has trained for this moment his entire life. Fierce, fearless, and loyal to Panem, he believes survival means blood on his hands and victory at any cost. When their paths cross, everything changes. As the countdown to the Games begins, an unexpected connection sparks between the healer and the killer. In their world, only one of them can live. What happens when your heart chooses to love someone you have to lose? ----------------- **REWRITING IN PROGRESS 2025** I do not own the rights to any original characters represented from the Hunger Games or the Hunger Games itself. Any changes I make to said characters and events are my own. I hope you like it!

What would have happened if Katniss didn't take Prim's spot in The Hunger Games? Would anything be any different? Would a new story unfold? This is my version. *WARNING: Things have been changed. Don't say I didn't warn you.*
