The Hunger Games: Silent Pines

The Hunger Games: Silent Pines

Five years ago, sixteen-year-old Zuri Thorne walked into the Hunger Games and emerged the lone survivor. The Capitol celebrated her victory. District 7 mourned the girl who never truly came home.

Now twenty-one, Zuri has perfected the art of surviving. She smiles when the cameras demand it, attends lavish Capitol parties she despises, and buries every nightmare beneath a face too composed to crack. To Panem, she is the Silent Victor. To the people who truly know her, she's a young woman carrying ghosts no one else can see.

When a fiery tribute from District 12 captures the Capitol's attention, old wounds begin to reopen. As rebellion quietly stirs beneath Panem's polished surface, unlikely friendships are forged, loyalties are tested, and Zuri finds herself drawn toward a boy whose greatest strength isn't violence-but kindness.

Set alongside the events of the Seventy-Fourth and Seventy-Fifth Hunger Games, Silent Pines follows the untold story of another victor whose journey unfolds in the shadows of history. While the fate of Panem hangs in the balance, Zuri must decide whether surviving is enough-or if some things are worth risking everything to protect.
