Summary
After twenty four years of Hunger Games, the districts have settled into a monotonous acceptance of their circumstances. Every year one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 will be reaped and sent into the arena. It is horrific, but it is at least known.
The announcement of the first Quarter Quell turns everything on its head.
Tethys Holloway lives alone by the coast of District 4. She's removed from her only living family as well as her District and she spends her days taking on odd jobs for the elderly and selling the fish she catches. By all accounts, she's never wronged another person. It starts getting hard to believe that when she is unceremoniously voted into the 25th Hunger Games. Betrayed by the only family she has left and set on a journey to the Capitol with the boy she never wanted to remember, Tethys finds it difficult enough to be confident in her survival.
Under the guidance of the seasoned Head Gamemaker, the return of Victors past serves to both help and hinder Tethys and the sceptical alliance she might be building. After all, a wolf pack treasures its strength in numbers, so why should a Career pack be any different at all?
