**THE REAPING IS NEAR.**
In the heart of a treacherous arena, one name rises above the rest: Diamond Acadian. Born with blood on her hands and a hunger for victory, she's the type to cry out, "I volunteer as tribute!" But beneath her fierce façade lies a heart gripped by shyness and anxiety, forcing her to battle not just her opponents, but herself.
Meanwhile, in the shadows lurks Leto Acadian, her sister-short, lean, and lightning-fast. Unlike Diamond, she wasn't forged for this deadly game, but a fierce determination ignites within her. She refuses to be invisible any longer. Ignored and overlooked for too long, Leto craves the spotlight and knows she must fight for her place, no matter the cost.
Beneath her soft exterior lies a formidable woman driven by an insatiable craving for blood.
