𝑪𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 𝑲𝑬𝑵𝑻𝑾𝑬𝑳𝑳 is a weapon. Perhaps the best young knife thrower in Panem, she is part of a new generation of potential career tributes trained at District 2's renowned Academy.
𝑪𝑨𝑻𝑶 𝑯𝑨𝑫𝑳𝑬𝒀 is the golden son. Eldest child of a prestigious line, his destiny is to bring glory and riches to his District by following in his victorious parents' footsteps.
When the two teenagers find themselves as tributes for the 74th annual hunger games, it will finally be a chance to prove their greatness to their homeland. The pair have spent years preparing for this moment - it should be the greatest honour.
But the circumstances in which they have been thrown together holds no hope of a future for one of them, and with the idea of facing a life apart devastating for them both, Clove and Cato will begin to question everything they have been lead their whole lives to believe.

hey guys! welcome to glory and gore - the start of my new and improved 2020 clato project! this originally began as an (ish) rewrite of my original clato book from back in 2012, sharp objects, and has since become not only a completely canon-divergent au trilogy centred around cato and clove but also the reason i've returned to wattpad entirely! thank you so much for all the love for this first book so far (this is an updated author's note from the original one i wrote when i started this), i'm overwhelmed by all the amazing feedback i've had from this book, not to mention the fact that i've made some amazing friends thanks to my return to the clato fandom :') if you're a first time reader then i hope you enjoy reading glory and gore as much as i enjoyed writing it - this book got me through lockdown! and if you're back here just to look at all the new aesthetics whilst waiting for my horrendously late fire and gold updates then pls don't come for me i'm sorry haha!
either way, thank you for sticking with these two murderous lovebirds throughout my teenage years and now - i will never stop living for clato so i'll probably be here for a long time writing their tragic life stories and crying to anybody who listens about it. much love as always
