in district five, grief is as common as power outages.
after losing her father in a deadly electrical accident, sixteen-year-old blake nightingale has spent years holding her family together - helping raise her younger sisters while her mother disappears into mourning and batter bowls. but on reaping day, survival means nothing. every child is still fair game for the capitol.
when blake's name is called at the sixty-third hunger games alongside the cold and brilliant ambrose whitfield, her world collapses in front of thousands of watching eyes. torn from the people she loves - especially the girl she can never openly claim - blake is thrust into a game designed to turn children into spectacles and grief into entertainment.
the capitol expects a performance.
blake plans to survive.
even if it means becoming someone she no longer recognizes.
