In District 4, Delphine Acheron's, life has always been defined by the tides - the push and pull of survival, the quiet ache of loss, and the deep, unspoken bond that she shares with her two closest friends: Annie Cresta and Finnick Odair. The three of them have always existed somewhere between bruised laughter and the shadows left by the Games. But when Finnick and Annie finally step into something more than friendship, Delphine is left navigating the ache of unspoken feelings and the messy, complicated truth of loving people who love each other. She doesn't know if she's mourning something she never had or protecting something still fragile and forming.

As whispers of rebellion stir and the Quarter Quell looms, Delphine tries to ride the wave of what's left of her normal - until the Capitol tears through her again. When Annie's name is pulled to be they're district's female tribute, so Delphine makes a choice that leaves no room for hesitation: she volunteers in Annie's place. Not for glory. Not for defiance. But for love. Now, thrust back into the Capitol's spotlight, Delphine must once again become a version of herself designed to survive. But she's older this time. Angrier. And the girl who swam with children in the surf isn't the same one walking into the arena. This version of herself carries ghosts in her lungs, grief in her bones, and a heart still tethered to Annie and Finnick.
