Chapter 1
The day of Reaping for the 43rd Annual Hunger Games commences in District 12 as thirteen-year-old Laurel and fifteen-year-old Baron Jardine witness their eighteen-year-old brother Garric called out as a tribute for their district, which days soon in turn led their father Laurentum to loose his mind after finding out that Garric is killed after being betrayed by a presumed tribute ally from District 4, placing a near win in the top seven - which also results to Baron leaving the household. Four years later, while working as a metallurgist, nineteen-year-old Baron is forced back into his traumatic past when Laurel tells him that their father has been taken to the Capitol. With Laurel escaping the female tribute call for the recent 47th Hunger Games, she and her hesitant brother secretly pass the district borders to go to Panem, but their search is put on hold when they discover a District 9 refugee named Dixie Rivendell, who claims to have an outside- quarantine zone in the now dead District 13. They bluntly directed her through the District 12 closed zones, with the siblings eventually parting ways with her to head off to the banned woods leading to District 11 - not knowing that she instead followed the two. They are eventually caught up by two Capitol guards where Dixie is shot by one of them - whilst throwing a bag of poisoned grain powder at the attacker, taking an intended hit for Laurel and Baron manages to kill the other by throwing his shop-made spear at the pursuer. With Dixie properly put to rest by the siblings, Baron confronts Laurel that he cannot do this "blood" and returns to District 12 - leaving Laurel at the forest sight to camp by herself. Upon returning, Baron then finds Eero Pyrmont - an old skilled metallurgist who took him as his own when Baron left his father - pinned down by guards at the square. He then witnessed Ovid Baxwoll - the district general - decapitate Eero for committing a "loitering after curfew" act which Eero did to actually find Baron. Eero's death prompts Baron to return to Laurel with another agenda of destroying The Capitol itself.

Chapter 2
While reaching the outskirts of the agricultural fields of District 11, Laurel and Baron meet a nineteen year-old woman named Prine Edenthaw who allows them to take shelter at her small cabin for a while during a storm. Prine at first seems hesitant to trust the two pointing a knife at Laurel, but eventually believes them after Baron tells her that their father was taken to the Capitol. She eventually talks to the siblings that her mother too, Eta Edenthaw, was taken to the Capitol by their district general Crucis Flamsteed. At Panem, she was eventually turned to a prostitute for the high-class members of the societal government. Late that night, Prine openly revealed to Baron that the recent District 11 female tribute was a close childhood friend of hers named Tule Wellwood, which Baron in turn shares some personal talk about his late brother Garric whom he was very close too growing up. The next day, district guards arrive at her cabin to collect taxes. However, Prine's vegetation stall failed to reach the amount needed where eventually a fight ensues with Baron subduing two of the guards and Laurel and Prine eventually holding down another. Prine then end up injecting the guards with hallucination ivies to let them forget the recent mishaps with Baron and Laurel taking some of their weapons and equipment. As the siblings are about to leave, Baron initially admits to Prine that he has residual feelings for her and that he'll do his best to bring her mother and Tule back to District 11.

Chapter 3
The siblings head off to the main town area in District 11, only to find out that the place is no different than District 12 - besides the fact that their source of living was agriculture. Deciding to cover more ground to find resources for their journey, the two separate where Baron eventually runs into the new district general Vamos Naysmith - successor of Crucis, whom Prine previously warns is dangerous and lethal than Crucis. Laurel, on the other hand follows two hooded figures to a small barn where the two eventually reveal themselves as District 5 residents Raff Dugald and Gleis Fairbain - victor of the 45th Annual Hunger Games winning at the age of sixteen by strategically hiding underground and gathering resources and brutally killing the other few remaining weak and hungry tributes with her vault spear Both Gleis and Raff openly admitted to Laurel that their trying to form a rebellion starting from the lower districts. After being released unharmed, Laurel tries, to no avail, look for her brother whom she eventually found after Vamos briefly talked to him about the Capitol being stronger than all districts combined and that he identified Baron as not from District 11. The next day, Raff runs into Laurel and Baron telling them that Vamos got Gleis captured and tortured for her sudden appearance in the district. The three soon confront Vamos in a abandoned shaft where he was about to electrocute Gleis where despite their plea, instead slit Raff's throat and cornered Baron to shoot him. When he was about to pull the trigger, Laurel plunges his sword onto his chest, instantly killing Vamos in shock. As Baron unties Gleis and comforts Laurel, Gleis reveals to them that the past victors are also mad for the Capitol's continuous misgivings to their districts and that a few are starting to rebel - which includes some residents like Raff who was a maintenance worker that the Capitol stopped to pay for on his duty days. Later that day - while Gleis buries Vamos' body, Baron and Laurel talked stating that they should be strong in confronting the Capitol where Gleis soon admits to them that since the District 11 victors are old and "draggy" to participate in a rebellion, they should head off together to other districts' victor's village especially The Main Hut located between District 6 and 7 since many victors are staying there; except for District 12 who has not yet conceived a single victor and for District 1, 2 and 4 for having their more leisurely Careers village located in District 1.
