Seventeen year old Dagger Vayne was raised in the stone shadows of District Two, where strength is sculpted and fear is beaten out long before the 72nd Hunger Games begin. Trained as a career from childhood and hardened by the loss of her older sister in the previous Games, Dagger carries a promise carved deep into her bones.
When Reaping Day arrives, she steps forward without hesitation.
Thrust into the glittering brutality of the Capitol, Dagger quickly becomes a standout tribute, drawing attention with her fierce presence and unnerving calm. But the Seventy Second Hunger Games hold secrets no training hall ever prepared her for. The arena is unlike anything seen before, filled with vast twisting corridors, hidden threats, and a darkness designed to unravel even the strongest competitors.
With old loyalties tested and new dangers rising from every shadow, Dagger must decide what parts of herself she is willing to lose in order to survive. Because in the Hunger Games, victory is never earned cleanly.
It is taken.
And it always leaves a mark.
Blood of the Quarry is a tense, character driven descent into ambition, identity, and the cost of becoming exactly what the world demands.
