Summary
Born to unlucky dressmakers, the world has been trying to break Barathea Cullen for as long as she can remember, but she has always fought back. So when her district votes her into the Hunger Games, she is determined not to succumb to what the world has thrown at her in the form of the deadly arena that awaits and the newly emerging group of 'Career' tributes who train to win and are going in ten times as prepared as her.
But the Careers are not the only skilled tributes in the arena. With an orphaned genius from Three, a killer with oxlike strength from Seven, a con artist from Ten with an almost faultless memory and a skilled hunter from Twelve, maybe the odds are not so heavily in favour of the Careers this year. The trouble is, they are certainly stacked against meek, obliging, morally unscrupulous dressmaker Barathea, whose only skills are in sewing and surviving the slums of Eight. She can see no possible scenario in which she is not ensnared by death.
