    Summary

    They do not see each other yet, not really.

    But somewhere, under all the noise and glitter and scripted applause, the Games begin to stitch their paths together, quiet as a needle through skin.

    Two careers, made in different furnaces.

    Two boys shaped into weapons and called it destiny.

    And in the center of it all, waiting like a mouth, is the arena, patient, hungry, inevitable.

    Tragedy is not a sudden thing.

    Tragedy is the slow, careful construction of a life that has only one ending.

    And both of them, Shane with his quiet obedience, Ilya with his glittering defiance, have been walking toward that ending for years.


    OR: Shane Hollander has been trained to win the Hunger Games since before he was old enough to question it.

    Ilya Rozanov trains because winning is the only way to keep his father alive.

    They are careers. They are weapons. They are not supposed to fall in love.


    OR: Shane, Ilya, and the Games that didn’t care who they were.
