Flickering Candle || The Hunger Games

Living in fear of--and fueled by hatred for--the Capitol, Dahlia Everdeen would do whatever it took to protect her mother and her younger sisters, Katniss and Prim. The entire district knew it. She would lie, bargain, bleed, and break if it meant keeping them safe. And when the moment came, she proved it--stepping forward to take her sister's place in the 74th Hunger Games, a spectacle designed for only one outcome: death. To the Capitol, Dahlia was nothing more than a meek girl sent to be extinguished, unlike the loud, ruthless tributes who promised bloodshed. She appeared to them as a single candle, flickering weakly against the dark. What they failed to see was what burned beneath the surface. That candle would not fade-it would grow. A spark would catch. And soon, Panem would find itself standing before a blazing inferno.
