Tending to the Hope of Tomorrow

Elistra has been safe up until this point. Safe from reliving her worst nightmares, that is. Snow still makes arrangements between desirable victors and his friends. But Elistra doesn't have to mentor.

That is until her former mentor is found guilty of a terrible crime. Brought to the square for punishment on the morning of the reaping, Hale's reins are passed down to Elistra. Horrifyingly, she finds herself mentoring for the first time in the 71st annual Hunger Games.

There are those who pin their hope on the success of others, and those who see right through her. Will she survive the pain and oppression dealt to her by the Capitol, or will she fail under the weight of it all?

And when everything is done, things take a turning point just a few years later. In what position will she find herself in?

Will Elistra learn that life is about more than what's been put against you, or will she continue to believe that the only way to survive is by keeping your head down and accepting fate?
