Others call me blessed, but I know I'm cursed. The day I got my powers was the day I realised all magic comes with a cost. Nature loves its balance. I never asked for this, but this is the burden I now have to carry. I was use to the solitude of travelling alone, just my animal companion by my side for these past few years. But then I met them; this ragtag group of individuals in need of a Druid to complete a job. And they came with Boro. An egotistical, over dramatic Elven bard that taught me I might actually have something worth living for. That is if we survive this next job. *** ONC24 entry Prompt 48: 'The curse of magic is that for every reward, there is a great loss. For every spell that goes right, there is something else- in the real, natural world- that goes terribly wrong. Nature loves its balance.' ***

Welcome to the Second Quarter Quell... When 16-year-old Haymitch Abernathy is reaped for the 50th Hunger Games, he faces a surprise twist: forty-eight Tributes will be sent into the arena in place of the typical twenty-four. While battling twice the amount of deadly adversaries, and his beautiful yet treacherous surroundings, Haymitch must navigate a deadly game of strategy, alliances, and sacrifice if he wants to make it home alive.

Seventeen-year-old Rue Winters wants nothing more than to get out of Eldermere. After all, there's a witch living on the outskirts of the town, and Alethea Storm knows everybody's secrets. It's not like they have to wait all that long either. But when Alethea's familiars (a crow that can make itself invisible and a size-shifting black cat) tell Rue that Alethea has disappeared, and the pair of them have been abandoned, their plans for a future away from witches stall. Because the last place Alethea planned to go was the witches' city of Moonwood. It should be easy, sort of, even for a non-witch: let the familiars guide them to the city, find someone who can actually find the missing witch, and go straight back home. When it comes to Rue Winters though, nothing is ever quite so simple. Caught off guard by the news they've been sponsored to take the Legerdemain Trials, a series of contests that seem to be done just to prove the merit of the new generation of witches, Rue quickly realises that finding Alethea Storm is going to be a lot harder than they first intended... but they know they must be on the right track. There's more than one way to define a 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩, after all.
