Summary
A Reaping of Ash and Steel
An alternate Hunger Games novelDistrict 12 has always known how to endure. Hunger, grief, silence—they wear them like second skin. But after the 71st Hunger Games ends in quiet tragedy and a new Reaping draws near, the fire beneath the ashes begins to stir.
Katniss Everdeen is just trying to survive—hunting past the broken fence, keeping her sister fed, staying unnoticed by a Capitol that only values spectacle. But when a miner named Harlan Creed is reaped—and refuses to play by the Capitol’s rules—everything changes. His defiance is quiet, brutal, impossible to ignore.
As alliances form and the arena turns into something more dangerous than the Capitol intended, Katniss, Gale, and Peeta watch from the ashes of a district they can no longer call home. Rebellion brews not with speeches, but with pickaxes, sabotage, and sacrifice.
What begins as another year of slaughter becomes something else: a strike to the heart of the Games themselves. And when the Capitol responds with fire, the survivors of District 12 are forced into the wild with nothing left but each other, a rumor of District 13, and the growing certainty that this time, the fire won’t go out.
