Xanthe Morningdawn is an 18-year-old girl from Panem's District 10 who has no fear at all of being reaped for the 19th Annual Hunger Games. It's her last year and her name is only in there 28 times while there are younger kids having their names in the ball many more times. But the odds are definitely not in her favor. With an escort who hates D10 and no mentor, there's never been a D10 victor, she and her male counterpart Oscar have to manage on their own since no one can close a sponsor deal but the mentor they don't have. But Xanthe's mind is set on getting 13-year-old Oscar out of the Arena alive. The only question is: how?
