Lucy's life is awful, she has two abusive parents, and can't find a way out. Until one day the abuse gets so bad she is taken to the hospital. In the hospital her life takes a turn for the better when her doctor that was flown in to treat her offers for her the opportunity to live with him since her parents are both in jail. Could this be the answer to her prayers? Or will Ashton, the doctors son run her off?

She's fought against her family's poverty and has to keep fighting to keep what she has. He comes from a wealthy family and can have anything he wants with a simple request. But both have become prideful. Cato and Clove both believe they are self-sufficiant, cold people. So when arrogant meets arrogant, and they're forced to cooperate if they ever hope to enter the Games, can they keep from killing each other long enough to start working together? Or are they both destined to lose everything they've fought for so far?

In the distant future, there is a "perfect" society. And in this society there are two groups, the Creators and the Destroyers. The Creators are the rulers. And anyone who is not like them is deemed "unfit" of this mold of perfection. So Destroyers are watched. And when they slip up in the slightest, they are taken care of. When Valarie Larek is born with attributes of neither Creator or Destroyer, everything changes. And from that moment on, nothing will ever be the same.
