Kassiani Spade survived the Hunger Games, but the horrors she endured left her shattered. As a mentor for the 73rd Games, she's determined to remain detached, to shield herself from the inevitable bloodshed. But when the male tribute from District 1...
and i'll build a fire you fetch the water and i'll lay the table
Kassiani Spade's beauty was a double-edged sword. It won her the 72nd Hunger Games, but it also reduced her to a mere object in the eyes of the Capitol. President Snow, the master puppeteer, saw her as nothing more than a tool to be exploited for his own gain. By the time the 73rd Hunger Games came around, Kassiani was a shadow of her former self, a hollow vessel for the whims of the Capitol. Smile? Wave? Entertain guests? She did it all, with no agency or purpose beyond survival.
Luxen Cohen was different. He was born to be a tribute, and he had trained his whole life for the honor. He thought he was ready for anything the Games could throw at him but he never anticipated Kassiani Spade. In her, he found a spark of humanity amidst the heartless machinations of the Capitol. She challenged him, inspired him, and ultimately, she made him question everything he thought he knew about the Games. As the game progress on, Luxen and Kassiani both find themselves fighting not just for survival, but for a chance at true freedom.
