Summary
Six months ago, Lorelei Nyle became a victor.
She survived the arena. She wore the crown. She played the Capitol's game-and won.
But victory doesn't mean freedom.
Back in District 4, everything she fought for is gone. Loss lingers in every corner, grief woven into the life she's meant to return to. The Capitol may call her a success story, but Lorelei knows the truth-
Some things don't survive the Games.
Now, she's expected to smile for the Victory Tour, pretend everything is fine.
And in six months, she'll be thrown back into the nightmare-this time as a mentor.
Guiding someone else to their death.
The only thing keeping her steady is the one person who understands exactly what she's going through... even if neither of them are ready to admit just how much they need each other.
Because in Panem, even victors aren't safe.
And some battles don't end when you leave the arena.

Summary
"He can't hurt me...there's no one left I love."
Johanna Mason is two things, hated by her District and fiercely loyal to her family and friends. The day her name is called at the reaping, she knows her only way to return to her family is to play the game. And so, on that stage she chooses deception as her means of survival.
Every move is planned, every facial expression calculated, every tear an act. She gives the Capitol what they want: a show. And Johanna knows how to play a role.
But Johanna learns that even if you play the game flawlessly, even if you win, in the Capitol there is no prize worthy of the price you pay to play.

Summary
Nightingales aren't meant to survive cages, and the Games are nothing if not a beautifully constructed one.
But the Capitol sees something in Cora Lily. A voice.
Watched closely by those who turn people into narratives, Cora Lily is forced to confront what her "song" really is. A comfort. A weakness. Or something far more dangerous. Because a nightingale doesn't just sing when it's safe-it sings in the dark. It sings when no one else will. It sings even when it's being listened to by the wrong people.
And once the nightingale starts singing
The whole world listens.

Summary
In a district where brains beats brawn every time, it's unfortunate that the district's next female tribute has neither.
District 3 was known for its technology, its brain power. Tori Watts was known for her zombie-like outlook. A brick wall, peers called her.
She felt no particular emotion. Numb to it all - it was the only way to survive. But would the same strategy work in the games?
Welcome to the 72nd Hunger Games.

Summary
❝I save others to forget I don't know how to save myself.❞
When one has no prospect of life, what shall they do? When their death is guaranteed for daring to be born in a district, and grow up with the title of Victor's child, what's the next step?
Should they accept it? Or fight it?
Is there a third choice?
Dove Ogilvy, the youngest daughter of District Four's controversial victor, found out the existence of the third to be real. The problem, however, was that it could only be given to the future-to-be tribute by a specific person, not decided by the tribute themselves.
It was a deal.
A life for a life.

Summary
In a world where the Games never came for them, Katniss Everdeen is still fighting to survive- just not in an arena. School is another battlefield: hunger gnawing at her ribs, responsibility weighing heavier than her backpack, and a future that feels as narrow as the fence surrounding District 12.
Everything shifts when Peeta Mellark, the baker’s son from the Merchant side of town, chooses to sit beside her, and keeps choosing her, day after day. What begins as an unwanted partnership becomes something far more dangerous: friendship, trust, and a fragile kind of hope Katniss doesn’t believe she can afford.
As they grow closer, both must confront the invisible lines dividing their district, the quiet unrest simmering beneath daily life, and the fear that caring about someone means giving them the power to leave, or to be taken.
Stay Anyway is an angsty slow-burn love story about two people learning that survival isn’t just about staying alive… sometimes it’s about letting someone stay with you.

Summary
"Elara Rosewood. Come on up, honey. Don't be shy."
Elara had hated the annual tradition of the hunger games since she knew how to say the words. It was violent, twisted and a fucking outrage. Her grandfather loved it though. He'd sit her down beside him and have her watch it, even when she told him she was scared and it made her tummy feel bad. "You'll grow to love it," He always told her. Fat chance.
When she's reaped at the age of 16 her life crumbles around her. This was not what she wanted when she ran from the capitol. Then again, she wouldn't expect anything different for President Coriolanus. Or as she used to call him: Gramps.

Summary
What if the girl on fire had lived another life before the Hunger Games?
A modern fan dies unexpectedly and wakes as Katniss Everdeen — a baby in the Seam, in a year and a world not her own. With memories of the future haunting her consciousness, she grows up under the coal-dusted skies of District 12, learning the rhythms, secrets, and dangers of a place she knows too well.
By the time she is sixteen, Katniss has become more than a girl struggling to survive — she is a strategist, a performer, a manipulator, and a protector of all she holds dear. Friends are chosen with care, loyalties are woven in shadows, and every smile is calculated.
As the Reaping approaches, she prepares not just to save her sister but to survive — and to make a mark on Panem in ways that no one, not even Snow, could have imagined.
In this retelling of the Hunger Games, the girl on fire is reborn, and the flame she carries burns brighter — and colder — than ever before.
