Ariadae Griffin was living a simple 17 years in District Four with her family, one of five children. She managed to escape for five years from the hands of the escort choosing names out of the bowl of eligible children. But this year- this year, her luck ran out. For Cato Hadley, it was time that was running out. He was 18- this Hunger Games was his last chance, last chance to bring glory to his family and District Two. But this was the Hunger Games; through love and death, the odds may only ever be in one individual's favor. Welcome to the 74th annual Hunger Games.
