❝I asked him for it. For the blood, for the rust, for the sin. I didn't want the pearls other girls talked about, or the fine marble of palaces, or even the roses in the mouth of servants. I wanted darkness, - I wanted him.❞ ~ In a world where children are sent off as a sign of a war well fought, a young girl by the name of Emberly Hawke finds her way into the gamekeeper's clutches. After growing up in a district where fighting was as common as breathing, Emberly had been more then trained in the art of taking down someone twice her size - and had trouble mastering her impulse control - which was a big problem in the capital's eyes. Forced to make alliances and fall in love, Emberly is awoken into another world where lying is the same as saying 'I love you'. [the hunger games: book 1] [emberly hawke series] ©seIcouth
