The Selection Games

Many years after Queen Eadlyn's rule, Illea was invaded by an army of peacekeepers. Eventually, after the king and queen had been murdered, the ruthless leader of the army, President Snow, took charge to lead this newly founded country and changed its name to Panem.
The president liked the idea of the Selection that had been previously explained to him by a former citizen of Illea, so he decided to keep it intact, but added his own brutal twist: turning it into a savage, violent fight to the death that would be televised for all the country to see.

The first Selection Games will be held for President Snow's grandsons, Albus and Julius. 24 girls from the ages of 16 to 19, two from each district, will be chosen at an event known as the reaping. After the girls fight each other in the arena, Albus and Julius will choose one of the last standing to be their wives and the future ruler of Panem.

On reaping day, will the teenage girls of Panem awaken feeling anticipation or terror? And for 24 of them, including Morgan Stafford, a headstrong fisherman's daughter, is the Selection Games the chance of a lifetime...or a death sentence?
