Finnigan Odair, aged 14. The same age as his dad was when he won his Hunger Games. At least, that's what Finn's mother, Annie Cresta Odair, tells him. And, quiet and sweet as she is, she wouldn't tell him something that wasn't true. But that doesn't mean she isn't telling him the whole truth. And that's all Finn wants, to know the truth about his dad, and his mom, too. Why she is the way she is, suffering from PTSD.
Finnick Odair, aged 14, thrust into the Hunger Games, with a slim chance of survival. From District 4, he's been trained for the games since he could walk, but no one as young as him had won the Games before. Ever. But there's a first time for everything, right?
Alternating chapters between Finnigan and Finnick, follow both boys in their journeys to self discovery and survival.

"I made the decision to cheat on my wife because I liked the way you made me feel vulnerable and comfortable enough to open up to you the night before it happened. I ain't never did shit like that before and that's what made it easy for me to choose to risk everything I got for you."
"That shit probably not a big deal to you but a nigga like me ain't never opened up to nobody but my best friend-and still..that's rare. I hate even talking about her with you but I don't even feel comfortable talking to Ariana about my feelings 'cause I know she gon' judge me. You don't make me feel like that."
