Description
Aureline Thorne was born into a world of gold-dusted lies and cradled smiles, trained to watch the Hunger Games with poise-not pity. But beneath the gossamer and civility, she carries a quiet ache: the unthinkable weight of knowing right and choosing wrong. When she's assigned to mentor Treech, a fierce and silent boy from District 7, something in her begins to shift. He is everything she's been taught to overlook-earthbound, untamed, defiant. And yet, in the middle of the Capitol's cruelty, he becomes the only truth she can hold onto. As the arena demands blood and the world watches with bated breath, Aureline finds herself in an impossible war-between the girl she was raised to be and the woman he thinks he sees beneath the mask. In the end, love may not be enough to save them. But it might be the only thing that makes them worth remembering.
