    Summary

    In an alternate District 12 where neither Katniss Everdeen, Prim, nor Peeta Mellark is reaped, life continues under the Capitol’s unyielding shadow. Hunting with Gale, navigating the quiet kindness of Madge Undersee, and enduring the Hunger Games from the sidelines, Katniss expects nothing to change.

    But when a relief effort for the tributes’ families draws her into the bakery — and into the steady gaze of Peeta Mellark — her world begins to shift in ways she can’t name. Gale’s loyalty becomes tangled with longing, Peeta’s quiet strength becomes harder to ignore, and survival starts to mean more than just staying alive.

    In a district where hope is dangerous, love might be the most defiant act of all.
