Salt in Her Veins - Finnick Odair

She was born in the sea. They tried to drown her in blood.

Violet Richardson never asked to be a Victor. At sixteen, she was reaped for the 67th Hunger Games and earned her crown the only way the Capitol allowed: with blood on her hands and salt in her lungs. Branded The Ocean's Fury, Vi became a Capitol darling, sold to the highest bidder, and paraded like a prize.

But beneath the pearls and poison, rebellion simmers.

When she's forced to mentor a fragile tribute named Annie Cresta, Vi sees herself reflected in trembling hands and sea-glass eyes-and vows to protect the girl in the only way she knows how. Survival.

As whispers of revolution sweep Panem, Vi must fight for more than her life. For love-for Finnick Odair, the boy the Capitol turned into a weapon. For her brother, reaped in a later Game. For the spark of something better.

And when the Quarter Quell drags her back into the Arena, Vi makes a choice:

She won't play their game.
She'll burn it down.

From the depths of District Four to the heart of a rebellion, Salt in Her Veins is a story of rage, resistance, and the quiet hope that survives even the cruelest storms.
