Calixte Emerson, younger sister of former victor Brock Emerson, has become the newest victor of the Hunger Games. Though, trouble is on the horizon and it seems that the games don't end at the arena. There is talk of rebellion and Calixte finds herself in the middle of it all. Plenty of twists ahead. Sequel to The Trouble With Careers.

I stand on the plate that would lift me up into the arena. Only my stylist is there to bid me farewell with a final word of advice. "Not everything is how it seems. Show them who you really are." What did she mean by that? I am a sixteen year old career from District Two. What else was there to show them?
