One game. 16 Contestants. 1 Winner. After conquering all of planet Earth, the Xentis empires rules with an iron fist...and a bit of brutal fun. Once every year, every criminal and outlaw compete in a fight-to-the-death competition watched by the rest of the world. The stakes? Death. The single competitor who survives and wins is named the Vanquisher, given a second chance and trained to fight for the emperor alongside with past years Vanquishers. Karissa, the kingdom's most notorious assassin, has been on a murderous streak for years now. But on one fateful night, her attempt to take the youngest princess's life fail, and she lands her place in the kingdom's dungeon...and a spot in the anual Games of Death. But ten months in prison haven't dulled her skills and reflexes, weakened her determination to win, or caused her hatred towards the empire to waver. The Games of Death may be a punishment, but Karissa sees it as an opportunity to overthrow the emperor's vicious rule once and for all. Aina had once been an abused child, a talented actress, and just another member of The Rising Insurgency, a group of rebels. Now, after winning the games two years ago, she's one of the emperor's most trusted Vanquisher. But being the emperor's right hand had lead Aina to realizing that things are not as they seem. She may be part of his elite guards, but that doesn't mean she can't have her own plans for the future of the Xentist empire. Among the deaths and heat of the Games of Death, unexpected alliance are forged and hope for a new kingdom arises. But salvation doesn't come without a price. --- This story is heavily inspired by Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games" and Sarah J Maas's "Throne of Glass," however the characters and plot are mine. You don't have to read their books to understand this. Warning: Contains violence and language. Read this at your own risk.

One minute she was fighting Valg, the next in a house she doesn't know, clothes she doesn't own, and about to walk down to a square full of people to be reaped. After volunteering for a girl she doesn't know, shoving the girl's sister back, and fighting the Valg she thought she left behind on stage, Aelin-or Celaena-is officially in the Hunger Games. Read to find out how she royally screws up the timeline, royally fixes it later, and tries to find a way back home. ••• Quotes from the books will be scattered around. Only up to QoS, though, since that's when this book starts. I own nothing. Throne of Glass belongs to Sarah J Maas. The Hunger Games belongs to Suzanne Collins. And before you ask-because I know some of you will-no, this is not a Peeta x Aelin fanfic. Katniss x Gale (since, you know. Katniss doesn't go into the games, as you can see in the summary) Peeta will be a single pringle. Or I might just throw in a random OC and have them get together. Or I might kill him off. ••• DOES NOT FOLLOW EXACT DETAILS OF THE BOOK. IF I GET SOMETHING WRONG, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY SO DON'T CORRECT ME. ••• This is not finished. As in, the first chapter isn't finished. Not sure when it will be because I'm a procrastinator, but I thought I'd publish what I have so far to see if people like it.
