When seventeen-year-old Y/N is chosen to represent District 12 in President Snow’s newest “peace initiative,” he knows exactly what he is—a hostage. Forced to leave behind everything he loves and spend a year living in the Capitol under constant surveillance, Y/N vows to keep his head down and survive. That plan falls apart the moment he meets Cassian Vale, the arrogant son of a powerful Head Gamemaker. Cassian is everything Y/N hates: rich, privileged, and undeniably tied to the Capitol’s cruelty. But beneath Cassian’s perfect smile lies a dangerous secret. As rebellion begins to stir in the shadows and President Snow’s grip tightens around Panem, Y/B finds himself caught between survival and resistance, loyalty and betrayal, hatred and something far more complicated. Because in a city built on lies, trusting the wrong person could get him killed. And falling for the Gamemaker’s son could destroy them both.
