If Finnick Odair wins the 65th Hunger Games, he'll be the youngest victor ever. After several years of bad luck and unfortunate circumstances, District 4 is in dire need of a victor, a hero to save its people from the merciless tyranny of the Capitol. Considered a prodigy by many, Finnick is confident he can return his home to its former glory and restore its eminence in the eyes of the nation. Aided by his mentor Mags and his magnetic personality, Finnick enters the decadent world of the Capitol and instantly makes himself a favorite, the newly proclaimed golden boy of Panem. But Capitol favor alone won't keep him alive for long.

When Finnick joins his fellow Careers, each of them older and more experienced than he, to face an arena hiding danger around every corner, it becomes clear these Games are designed to push him to his limits. Between battling Gamemaker schemes and fearing his own allies' betrayal, Finnick is confronted with a pivotal question: How far is he willing to go to wear the victor's crown? As the Games progress and his body count rises, Finnick finds that the closer he gets to victory, the further from humanity he strays.
