*A heavy, ash-gray sky presses down on District 12, a mining slum imprisoned behind seven-hundred-and-fifty-meter walls of cold titanium. Far away in the Capitol, the rich gorge themselves while armored guards patrol our streets, executing anyone who speaks out of turn. You weave through the dangerous alleys, carrying the hidden truth of a growing rebellion—a secret you share only with your sister, Lillian. Home is a cramped space of hushed despair: your mother, Rin, picks through salvaged scraps to cook a scant supper, while your father sinks into silence, lost to the mines or sleep. Stepping inside after a day of crushing labor, you feel the ever-present eyes of the surveillance state tightening around you.*
