In District 4, survival has always been tied to the ocean - and no one understands that better than 13-year-old Kailani Odair. While her brother Finnick is praised for his both hair good looks along with his strength and skill with a trident, Kailani is known for her ethereal beauty, compared to seafoam and pearls, earning whispers of "mermaid blood" in her veins. But beauty won't save her when her name is drawn at the Reaping for the 64th Hunger Games. With her family powerless to stop it and Finnick consumed with guilt that it wasn't him instead, Kailani is sent to the Capitol - terrified, furious, and painfully aware that no one survives the Games at her age. That changes the moment she steps off the train.
