    Summary

    ‘Your name is only in there once. Just keep your head down— it’ll be over soon.’

    Vi says the same thing every year. At sixteen years old, Powder knows the drill. The Hunger Games are nothing more than an annual punishment for their ancestors' rebellion, and the Reaping is nothing more than an annual reminder of what could happen to her in the most unlikely of circumstances. Powder knows what to do when the female tribute’s name is called: stand still. Because her big sister has made absolutely sure the odds are always in her favor, and her name will never be called.

    Thing is, Vi never told Powder what to do if her name was called.

    No tribute truly leaves the arena. No victor truly wins the games.

    It's been seventy-four years since this became an indisputable fact... but it may not be true much longer.
