As the 55th Hunger Games return for another year, Taslim Moor of District 7 anxiously awaits his fourth reaping. And when - to his horror - his name is drawn out of the reaping bowl, he must accept that he is going to certain death, because Taslim knows something about himself that no one else does. He will not be able to kill anyone. No one in the history of the Hunger Games has ever won without killing, so Taslim knows he will not come back alive, but he must at least try. He may not be strong, but he has other skills and a burning desire to stay alive for as long as he can. Not even the most blood thirsty gamemaker in the Capitol could predict what's in store for this year's tributes. The moment Taslim's name is pulled out of the reaping bowl his dark fate will be set in firm motion. In the games he will discover who he truly is and the illusion of normality previously cast around him will be shattered as he learns that things are not as they appear to be. Terrible discoveries await Taslim in the Hunger Games.
