INTRODUCTION

❝Everything is falling apart according to plan.❞

The Novak family is well known among the citizens of Panem. They, along with the Holloway family, are the only victors of the Hunger Games in District 5. While every family member has had the misfortune of being reaped, only one in recent years had not become a victor, and that was because his younger sister, Marigold, was also reaped that year.

Marigold Novak is much different than the rest of her family. No one expected her to win the Games, especially not so quickly. While her family won by fighting and committing gruesome murders, Marigold became the victor of the quickest Games in history, lasting only 24 hours. How did she win, you may ask? She lured twelve of the thirteen remaining tributes to the only water source in the desert arena and electrocuted all of them. However, when it came down to her and the last tribute, Iris Jennings from District 1, she stabbed her in the eye and slit her throat, her way of getting revenge on the tribute that killed her brother.

Unbeknownst to her, Marigold being reaped with her brother was the beginning of civil unrest in the Districts. Unsurprisingly, many lives were lost, and the uprising went dormant until Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark won the 74th Hunger Games. And while the 75th Hunger Games was created to show that even the strongest could not defy the Capitol, it ended up being their fatal flaw.
