In District 12, every choice carries a price, and every hope is a bet. For Wyatt Callow-oddsmaker, gambler, and son of the notorious Booker Boys-life is one calculated risk after another. Then he meets Rowena March, a merchant girl with her life already mapped out, a future seemingly untouchable. Choosing her is the risk he never predicted, the wager he can't afford to lose.
Their forbidden love ignites in a quiet year, a stolen rebellion against a world that calculates every outcome-and where betting on the heart is the riskiest gamble of all. For Wyatt, her devotion is the ultimate, unfathomable stake. For Rowena, having him is the only bet worth placing-a wager that could cost everything... or change everything.
This is not full canon-this is a "what if" story: what would have happened if Wyatt was never reaped or killed in the 50th Games and if he aged out.
