The Victor's burden

Teya Thalor believed that by being crowned the winner of the 72nd Hunger Games she would be free. She thought that his debt to the Capitol was settled, that bloodshed was something she would no longer have to offer, and that the glory she brought to District 2 would at least grant her the right to peace.
But in Panem, freedom is a mirage and President Snow does not forget the insults, and even less so towards his person.
A resounding "no" to his modeling offer, the forced prostitution of the victors, was enough. An act of defiance against the whims of the Capitol sealed a fate she never imagined for her boyfriend. The following year, Cato's name resounded in the harvest of the 73rd Games, not by chance, but as a sentence, and no one volunteered for the deadliest of Academy students. It was Snow's punishment for his stupid bravery.
Against all odds, Cato not only survived; he returned as a legend of carnage, the "Gladiator of 2" consolidating the pair as the ultimate symbol of power and perfection in the professional districts. They were the favorites of the capital, the lovers, "the gladiator and his dancer."
For nearly two years, they lived on top of a mountain of glory made of forty-six corpses, believing themselves untouchable under the shadow of the Victors' Village.
However, fate is capricious. The announcement of the Third Vassalage of the Twenty-Five has fallen like a guillotine on their necks. No matter how much glory they have accumulated, or how much blood they have shed on Capitol Hill, the existence of the victors is at stake. Protection is gone. The promises have been burned. Now, while in the Capitol they prepare to mourn their favorites and bet on which of them will be crowned with laurel for the second time, panic settles in the Village of the Victors.
Will fate choose one of them so that the other will see its fall? Will they be forced to confront each other? Or will Snow manage to destroy both of them before they hit the arena floor?
