Sixteen-year-old Thérèse Castell has spent her entire life preparing for the Hunger Games, but when she volunteers to escape her sister's shadow, she quickly realizes she's unprepared for the brutal reality of survival.
Paired with Phoenix Vale, a skilled and confident favorite to win, Thérèse struggles to prove herself-both to her district and to the Capitol audience. Under the mentorship of a broken, disillusioned victor, she faces not only the horrors of the arena but the darker parts of herself she never knew existed.
As the Games push her to her limits, Thérèse is forced to choose between holding onto her humanity or doing whatever it takes to survive. But in the Hunger Games, even victory comes at a cost.
Will Thérèse live long enough to find out who she really is-or will the Games consume her completely?
