Antigone | A Hunger Games Novel

Raised among privilege, Antigone Valerius has always been admired for her beauty and money, but dismissed for her idealism. When she leaves the only home she's ever known in the Capitol to teach in the poorest district of the nation, she discovers that District 12 is nothing like the world she comes from: a coal-stained land where hope is scarce, survival is brutal, and every choice carries a cost.

Her family thinks she's naïve. The Capitol sees her as just another harmless volunteer. And District 12... well, they loathe the very ground she walks on.

She believes she can civilize, teach, and fix a world she doesn't yet understand. But the people of Twelve are far stronger than she imagined - fierce, loyal, and full of life. Friendships form with those who challenge, support, and surprise her, and amid the quiet moments between work and lessons, a complicated connection awakens with someone she never expected to trust...or to care for. Slowly, she discovers that the real savages aren't in the districts at all, but closer to home then she ever realised.

In a world where innocence is a dangerous luxury, Antigone must decide how far she is willing to go for justice, for mercy, and for the truth she cannot unsee.

Welcome to the 25th Hunger Games.
