With no female volunteers for the first time in years, Glimmer Gallows finds herself a tribute in the 74th annual Hunger Games. Leaving behind two orphaned sisters with an inkling of hope and her late mother's wedding ring, Glimmer is tested on her will to survive.

"It's never going to stop, is it?" I whisper. My abusive parents. Struggling to keep my siblings alive in the arena. The hunger. The thought chills me, but I know I've been given this life because I'm strong enough. I can make it through.
