Could you survive on your own in the wild, with every one out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weight survival against humanity and life against love.

Only the worthy will rise. In the underground city of the Burrows, every eighteen-year-old faces the Convergence—a sacred ceremony where ancient, magical animals called Auryths choose who is worthy of power and a lifebond with them … and who is not. Today, Lennon Benfield’s fate is sealed. She will either emerge from the ceremony bonded and given the gift of magic or be exiled to Earth’s toxic surface to die. Slade Whitlow was exiled two years ago after being deemed unworthy by the Auryths. When he arrived on the surface, he expected to meet death. But instead, he finds Solis. Now, he leads those left to die, protecting them from the dangers prowling the surface and the lies that drove them there. Lennon believes every life is worthy. But Slade has seen what happens when that belief gets people killed. As secrets rise and impossible choices close in, the greatest threat may not be above or below—but within.
