when the sun hits

"When names are called, the people of District 10 look to me and my brother like we are of royalty. Like we are their saviors. They bring us money, food, any goods, and pray that we volunteer for their children. Since we turned 12, they never left us alone.

"Yet today, there was nobody on our doorstep. The knocks that once echoed through the house are missing, and the only thing that can be heard is the clock and the shower upstairs. That's because their children are safe today. They always wanted to send us to our death. All because of our father."

In a different universe where the rebellion fell and the games continued, Linnet Ellery faces the 125th Hunger Games; also referred as the 5th Quarter Quell. The twist? Each victor has their names within the reaping pool: once pulled, their children become the tributes of this year's game.

Suddenly, she and her brother find themselves in their father's footsteps. Attempting to survive their sacrifice, all because he won.
