Description
At the end of the 75th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen blew out the force-field of the Quarter Quell arena with an arrow and a willingness to survive. With her fiery spirit and unique gift of archery, she willed the districts to rebel against the Capitol. Twenty years before, another tribute had a similar goal. ------------------------------------------ Fifteen-year-old Cassia never asked for her life. She never asked to be born in poverty in the middle of a semi-rich District Seven, nor scorned for her family's origins in the Capitol. Her only comforts are her parents and two siblings, and the peace and resources that only the redwood forest around her provides. She knows that when times are hard, she has people to whom she can turn to, and get her out of trouble, no matter how deep. When Cassia is reaped for the 55th Hunger Games, she is not prepared for the responsibility of getting out alive- especially when her district partner is someone she loves dearly. As old acquaintances reappear and mysterious new faces begin to take an interest in her, Cassia must question her ability, identity, and sanity- and how much she's willing to protect in a dangerous three-week game of life or death. -------------------------------------- A shout-out to @ThatBlondeSlytherin for making my cover! Also: DO NOT STEAL MY WRITING. I HAVE BEEN WRITING THIS OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS, AND THEREFORE IS WORK MADE BY ME. Plagiarism doesn't show your hard work, creativity, or integrity. If you do see someone trying to reproduce my book, report it and tell me. I'd very much appreciate it. Warning: I try to write chapters with the length of novel chapters. The chapters in this book happen to be long. If this is a problem for you, don't read this; or try to clear a space in your schedule for reading beforehand. Just a heads-up.
