wilt verb past tense: wilted; past participle: wilted a wilted white rose can mean swearing your whole life to someone. 🥀 Wilted Rose is a captivating story of academic rivals, Coriolanus Snow and Solaris Ravinstill, who are forced to work together on a final assignment. Despite their differences, they discover they have more in common than they originally thought. Set in the world of Panem before, during and after the events in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, this gripping tale explores the complex relationship between two ambitions individuals, power, and the lengths one will go to achieve their goals. (I do not own any characters other than Solaris Ravinstill, all other characters belong to the wonderful mind that is Suzanne Collins.)
