!SPOILERS FOR SUNRISE ON THE REAPING!
UPDATE ON PROGRESS: don't worry, I haven't left this story unfinished! I'm currently at uni and have about ten assignments so I'll be back to finish this story in seven weeks-let's call it part 2 π
The 51st Hunger Games fast approaches.
District 12 has changed since their lone surviving victor returned at the expense of 49 other children. People now realise surviving the games comes with a cost.
Hazel Wren struggles to stay afloat as her mother's sickness worsens. She can't imagine life without her, but has been forced to step into her role as a seamstress to help keep her family, including her three little siblings, afloat.
When the worst happens, Hazel is ripped from the arms of her family, without the promise of seeing them again. She's forced into an increasingly fake world alongside her fellow tribute Tommy Peetrie-the boy built like an ox-and the drunken yet charming Haymitch who sloppily mentors them towards their fates.
When the odds aren't suddenly stacked against them, is there room for Hazel to hope? More importantly, will she remain loyal to Tommy, or will their alliance fall?
And will Hazel pay the ultimate price?
