Summary
Fleur Harlow has never fit neatly into District 12's merchant class, her father, Derrick Harlow, owns the butcher shop in town but that doesn't mean the Harlows live comfortably. The meat sold behind the counter is too valuable to keep for themselves, unless Fleur brings something home from the woods, dinner is often as thin as anyone else's in District 12.
Fleur learned to hunt at twelve: she slips through the trees beside Katniss Everdeen and Gale Hawthorne as naturally as breathing, bow in hand and boots coated in forest mud. In the woods, titles like merchant and Seam stop mattering. Out there, survival is the only thing that counts.
Her mother, Charlotte Auburn, was born among the Covey a once travelling group known for music, storytelling, and wandering from place to place before the Peacekeepers forced them to settle in District 12.
None of that matters on Reaping Day: Not when her little sister Etta stands trembling with the twelve-year-olds for the very first time. Not when Fleur's own name sits in the reaping bowl twenty times after years of taking tesserae to help feed her family. And not when the Seventy-Fourth Hunger Games are about to begin.
