For as long as she can remember, Aria Hansley has hidden her pain behind a mask, the shadows of her past lurking just beneath the surface. As one of District 4's most skilled swimmers, she's learned to hold her breath, both in water and in life.
Her only solace is Finnick Odair, her best friend, who shares her silent burden. They're both haunted by scars the Capitol has left on them-ones they've never dared to reveal, not even to each other.
But when they're reaped together for the Quarter Quell, the Games threaten to drown them both. Thrust into a fight for survival, Aria and Finnick must confront the trauma that binds them and find a way to navigate the brutality of the arena. Because in the end, survival isn't just about staying alive; it's about finding a reason to keep fighting.
Will the Quarter Quell be the end of them-or will it be the thing that finally sets them free?
