9 parts Ongoing In a twisted turn of fate, sixteen-year-old Levana Thorne is reaped to represent District 11 in the 74th Hunger Games-not because her name was drawn from the girls' bowl, but because there weren't enough boys to choose from. Soft-spoken yet resilient, Levana is a seamstress with a haunting voice, a gift for crafting weapons, and a soul too gentle for the world she's been forced into.
With her pale blonde hair, deep green eyes, and quiet strength, Levana captures the Capitol's fascination-but behind the beauty is a girl determined to survive for the sake of her sick mother and younger sister back home. In the arena, she forms a fragile but powerful alliance with Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, finding both kinship and conflict in the fire of rebellion growing beneath their feet.
As alliances shift and blood is spilled, Levana must choose: remain the Capitol's delicate rose-or let her thorns bleed for something greater.
She was never meant to be chosen.
But she was never meant to be forgotten, either.
