    Summary

    It’s an accident, Inej thinks, when he tells her. Judging by the faint pitch, hummed on the exhale of a breath, his consciousness is far away – like he’s winding down a road somewhere along a long-lost dream.

    “Rietveld,” he whispers, with the faintest flutter of his dark eyelashes against his cheeks.

    Summary

    “HAND OVER THE RAVKAN, OR WE WILL BREAK IN.” A man wearing the silver badge of a stadwatch captain bellowed at the wrong window.
    “Like hell you will.” Brekker growled to himself, standing reluctantly and limping to the window.
    Inej just shook her head.
    “They won’t have any intelligence. Kaz is just the prime suspect whenever anything goes wrong for the Merchant Council.”
    The prime suspect sighed deeply, shoved the window open with his cane, and leant out.

    ----

    Inej acquires a rather valuable political prisoner. Kaz acquires a burning hatred for him.

    Summary

    “May the odds be ever in your favor”

    A painful reminder that the odds aren’t in your favor when your district votes you into the Hunger Games as a means of revenge against your father. Artemis Plinth is chosen because the district wants her dead. Simple as that.

    “I’m not ready” she tells her mother, whose iron grip on her chin never loosens.

    “Your time comes when it does, my child” her mother tells her. “You’re a Plinth, so act accordingly. Never give in, never lose-“

    “Never fall” Artemis concludes, finishing her mother’s words that have been drilled into her since she was a child.

    “Exactly” Vesta lets go of her daughter’s chin with a nod “you come home a winner or not at all. Your father and I raised you a victor, and that is what you’ll become”

    There’s no question about it, no doubt that there is any other fate in store for her than winning the Hunger Games – regardless of who she is up against. Regardless of what she has to do to end on top - to be crowned a Victor.
