Everyone thought they were fighting for equality. That they were fighting, primarily, to end the Hunger Games. To end the brutal murder of twenty-three children each year. People killed for this, fought for it, died for it. But they lied. The bodies have barely been cleared from the streets before President Coin makes an announcement; the Hunger Games will continue. But the children of the Districts are safe. It's the Capitol children who face death this time around, and everyone is excited for the fun to begin.

...In a distant future, the nation of Panem, once North America, has been divided into 12 districts and The Capitol. Every year two young representatives from the districts are chosen by lottery to compete in The Hunger Games... A vengeful punishment for a past rebellion gone wrong, the games are filmed and broadcast all throughout Panem. With the 24 participants forced to murder each other while the people of Panem are required to watch so they may never rise again... ...When 18 year-old Thain Byrns is selected as District 4's male representative in the 70th Hunger Games, he is prepared to do anything to live. He has no one and cares for no one. His mind is set to do the worst until he meets her... the strangely optimistic tribute with a dark secret who refuses to let her soul be changed and darkened, the girl who's about to turn his world upside down and completely change his way of viewing life. What can he do when the only thing standing in his way to victory is the only thing keeping him sane...© "Featured in the official Wattpad @Fanfic The Hunger Games reading list"

‘’ Ladies and gentlemen of Panem, for the Pageant of the one hundred and twenty fifth annual Hunger Games, or the fifth Quarter Quell, we have a special treat in store. Here in Panem, we are all depending on something, the Capitol depends on the twelve districts for goods, the districts depend on the Capitol for food and protection but also, the districts depend on each other. To highlight the fact that the districts of Panem are so dependent on each other, the tributes in this year’s Hunger Games will be randomly paired with one another. The pairs will be connected via a new Capitol invention that will mean when one of them dies, so does the other. This will mean that the pairs will have to protect each other, because their lives are in their partner’s hands and vice versa. As you may be wondering how this will affect the final outcome, I am very excited to announce that for the first time ever in Hunger Games history, two tributes will be able to win! Yes, you heard me correct. There will be two victors! You will all hear more about this after the Reapings have commenced, until then, I bid you all adieu. The one hundred and fiftieth annual Hunger Games has officially begun!’’
