Description
Zara Lorne lives in District 6, a place suffocated by dust, despair, and the relentless grip of Capitol control. The people here endure, their lives shaped by the fear of the annual Reaping-a brutal lottery that turns children into tributes. As the fateful day arrives, Zara steels herself for the inevitable, preparing to face the pageantry of death with the same stoic silence as every year. But when her name is called, she steps into the spotlight, her fate sealed with a simple announcement. Thrown into the Capitol's deadly Games, Zara must navigate a world of excess, spectacle, and manipulation. The ruthless arena will test her body, but it is her mind-and her heart-that she will struggle to preserve. In a world where survival means sacrificing pieces of yourself, Zara must learn what she's willing to lose-and what she will fight to hold onto.
