Thirty-two years after the fall of President Snow, Europe has fallen under the rule of the ruthless President Gareth Storm, who has revived the Hunger Games on an unprecedented scale. Thirty districts are each forced to send four tributes into a redesigned arena where survival is the only goal and mercy is a weakness. Chosen to represent District 12, siblings Miles and Rohan Ainsworth are joined by Phoebe Haddock and Juniper Ashworth as they enter the deadliest Hunger Games ever created. Bound by strict rules that forbid alliances outside their district, the four must navigate deadly traps, dangerous rivals, and an arena suspended between false daylight and endless dusk. As the competition grows more brutal with every passing day, the district 12 tributes are pushed to their physical and emotional limits, discovering that survival demands not only strength, but trust, sacrifice, and the courage to face impossible choices. In the Hunger Games, only the strongest endure—but not everyone is willing to lose their humanity.
