Summary
After winning the 74th Hunger Games, Peeta Mellark returns to District 12 alive, but not whole.
Haunted by the deaths he witnessed and the girl he could not save, Peeta refuses to heal. Instead, the Capitol exploits his trauma, forcing him into a pawn for its entertainment, until the boy once known for kindness hardens into something darker and colder.
When the Capitol introduces a new law granting exemptions from the Reaping to the spouses of victors and their families, survival takes on a new shape. With hunger closing in and no other way to protect her family, Katniss Everdeen is forced to make a choice she never wanted to consider, one that will bind her future to a victor for better or worse.
