The 54th Hunger Games changes everything.
For this Quarter Quell, the Capitol raises the stakes. Each district must send two tributes as usual... but also a warrior. A proven fighter. Someone who has already survived violence long before stepping into the Arena.
This is no longer a game of frightened children.
It is war.
Paxton Creed, a former elite operative trained in Panem's Special Forces, is chosen as District 2's warrior. Disciplined, calculated, and deadly, Creed understands strategy better than most Gamemakers. But the Arena is different this year. A ruined city replaces forests and fields. Snipers claim rooftops. Alliances are tactical. Every movement is deliberate.
The Capitol wants a spectacle of strength.
Instead, they may have created something far more dangerous.
Alongside Dahj Atrius, District 2's fierce and resourceful tribute, Paxton must navigate a battlefield where experience is both an advantage and a target. The rules have evolved. The competitors are smarter. And survival no longer belongs to the lucky.
In a Hunger Games built for warriors, only the strongest will endure.
And this time, the Capitol might not be ready for the consequences.
