In the shadow of the Hunger Games, where survival is a spectacle and hope is a liability, whispers of a ghost begin to spread-an unseen girl who steals tributes from the brink of death and replaces them with lifeless illusions so perfect the Capitol never questions it.
Only one person knows the truth.
Cinna, the quiet, observant stylist from District 12, has been secretly communicating with her for years. He's never seen her face, never heard her real name-but he's seen the impossible become reality. Tributes who should have died... gone, yet somehow alive.
When he meets Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, something shifts. Katniss burns too brightly-untouchable, undeniable. Cinna knows, deep down, that she will win.
But Peeta... Peeta is different.
Kind. Selfless. Doomed.
As the Games approach, Cinna faces an impossible choice: keep the secret that has saved so few... or risk everything by telling Peeta about the girl who can cheat death itself.
Because saving one tribute is dangerous.
Saving two could start a rebellion.
And the girl in the shadows?
She's running out of time.
