It's been twenty five years since the war, the first Quarter Quell, and while most districts plan to finish this quick and send in the weakest of the weak, the criminal threats, not the Careers. No, the Careers, volunteering for the riches proposed for ten years already, have other plans in mind. The strongest shall be sent to bring their Districts pride, voted into the Twenty-Fifth Hunger Games.
Cassidy Mare of District 4 has trained for five years under the Facility for the Games - the same ones that stole her sister from her at age twelve. The best in her sector, her competency has one goal alone: to make the Capitol pay for stealing Vaela from her.
Meanwhile, from a less fortunate part of the District, Apollo Crest's parents funneled all the money they have not into food or shelter, but a spot at the Facility. He's been training to one day win back the riches his tutoring cost, to satisfy the delusions his parents have pressed into him for as long as he can remember.
They met as rivals, the best in their gender in the best of facilities. But the competition never found a winner, and their own thirst for victory couldn't be quenched with tests alone. They've grown closer over the past four years, but with time to enter the games running out, how long is it till their intimacy lashes through their ambitions?
