    Summary

    And she began to sing.

    The first notes were tentative, almost swallowed by the wind rolling off the water. For a moment, she was sure no one would even turn to listen. But then the sound caught—on rope, on wood, on salt-heavy air and held. Conversations slowed. Heads lifted. One by one, people turned toward the docks, as if the music had pulled them without asking permission.

    It wasn’t loud.
    It wasn’t perfect.
    But it was steady.

    And in District 4, steadiness was its own kind of survival.

    By the time they finished, the harbor had gone quiet in a way that felt different from before—less like absence, more like attention. Sadie Lark didn’t know what to do with that silence at first. But when she finally looked up, she saw Bauble watching her with something in his expression she couldn’t name.

    Not pride alone.

    Something closer to belief.

    Summary

    Bailey knows she's forgetting something.

    She knows it every time she orders a Number Five from Delmar's with extra pickles despite hating pickles, every time an inside joke comes to her without an origin, and every time she catches herself missing someone she can't remember ever knowing.

    Peter Parker knows exactly who she's forgotten.

    Two years after Doctor Strange's spell erased him from the lives of everyone he loved, Peter has gotten very good at staying away. Then Bailey finds Spiderman injured on the subway and offers him the sandwich she has unknowingly been buying for him all these years.

    After that, staying away gets a little harder.

    Because Bailey may not remember Peter Parker, but some part of her, apparently, never learned how to erase him completely.

    Summary

    Caroline Marlow was never supposed to survive the 69th Hunger Games.

    Now a Victor, she must convince President Snow—and all of Panem—that the compassion, loyalty, and defiance she showed in the arena were nothing more than strategy. If she fails, the people she loves will pay the price.

    Finnick Odair brought the woman he loves home, but he knows what waits for Victors the Capitol finds desirable. Already trapped in that world himself, he is determined to protect Caroline—even if it means hiding their engagement and pretending their love does not exist.

    But rebellion is spreading. Victors are choosing sides, old loyalties are shifting, and Caroline and Finnick are being pulled into something far bigger than either of them.

    Between the Victory Tour, Caroline’s new role in the Capitol, mentoring new tributes, and a love Snow could weaponize, Caroline must survive a world where every smile is watched.

    And when the Quarter Quell sends the Victors back into the arena, winning may no longer be the goal.

    Ending the Games might be.

    Summary

    When Caroline Marlow was nearly executed in the Square, she learned a brutal truth: the Capitol doesn’t forgive defiance—it repurposes it.

    Now, as punishment for rebellion and love alike, Caroline is forced into the very Hunger Games that took her brother’s life. Thrown into the arena as a warning to anyone who dares to defy President Snow, she’s expected to die quietly—especially with a fellow tribute who despises her at her side, a boy who would sooner see her bleed than survive.

    Finnick Odair—District 4’s most celebrated Victor, her Mentor, and the man she loves—is forced into the role he fears most. As her lifeline and strategist, he must teach her how to kill, charm the Capitol on her behalf, and smile through the knowledge that every choice he makes could cost Caroline her life. Loving her has made him vulnerable in a way the Capitol is eager to exploit.

    As blood is spilled and alliances form, Caroline must decide what kind of tribute she will become—and how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice to survive.

    Because in the arena, love is not a shield.

    It’s a target.

    Summary

    When Caroline Marlow lost her younger brother in the 66th Hunger Games, something inside her broke beyond repair. Between running her market stand, enduring the threats of the vicious boy who haunts her every step, and holding together what’s left of her drunken father’s life, she’s learned to survive on scraps of peace in a world determined to strip her of everything.

    Then Finnick Odair—her brother’s old Mentor, District 4’s golden boy, and Snow’s most prized possession—steps into her life. What begins as a flicker of kindness in a cruel world turns into something neither of them can ignore: a connection forged in grief, sharpened by survival, and tested by the cruelty of the Capitol.

    As Finnick fights to protect her from the price of his defiance, Caroline discovers that even a poor girl from the docks can wield her own kind of power.

    Love, rebellion, and the hunger for freedom all come with a cost—and in Panem, every act of defiance draws blood.
