"Was she alive, dead, a ghost who haunted the wilderness?

Perhaps no one would ever really know."
~Suzanne Collins. 


After Lucy Gray Baird leaves the safety of District 12 behind to live the rest of her remaining days out in the wilderness, the victor of the tenth Hunger Games is almost unrecognisable. When her lover Coriolanus Snow attempts to kill her, she is left with her life hanging by a thread.

Now, Lucy Gray must decide whether to keep travelling North or go back and face the District she is no longer part of.

Whichever path Lucy Gray chooses, secrets will be uncovered, enemies will be revealed and danger will lie ahead.  

In this post-apocalyptic world, everything is at stake. 

If you're a fan of The Hunger Games, dystopian, science fiction and adventure genres, this is the perfect award-winning novel for you!

It's only been a few days since the Twentieth Hunger Games declared its victor but preparations for the twenty-first are already underway. Not only is Coriolanus Snow is in charge⎯officially in charge⎯he is all anyone in the Capitol can talk about. Heir to a giant munitions empire, one of Panem's brightest, up and coming talents, slated to become the youngest Lieutenant General in the history of the national military, he is the most eligible bachelor in town. Everyone wants a piece of him, and it's not just the ladies. Coriolanus basks in every minute of it. He is having the time of his life. Until one night, he seems to have seen a ghost. A ghost of his past⎯the ghost of his past. With her dark hair wound atop her head, a wreath of flowers decorating the braids, an orange scarf knotted artfully around her neck, and her rainbow of a dress... It can't be, Coriolanus tells himself as he watches her waltz through his dining room full of guests. It has been ten years since he'd seen her, ten years since that fateful day by the lake and in the forest, ten years since she'd sung and he'd fired his gun, and it simply cannot be... Snow lands on top...doesn't it? *** Lilith Gold is a senior at the University, where a highly-coveted Gamemaker apprenticeship is up for grabs. It is her best friend's dream; her best friend who is the strongest contender, who is unequivocally and unreservedly deserving of it.

Book One of the Timber Series. In the rugged woodlands of District 7, fate dramatically alters the lives of Hazel Marlowe and her younger brother when they are both selected during the reaping for the 15th Annual Hunger Games. The historic selection of siblings in the same games, quickly captivates the Capitol, drawing a morbid fascination from its citizens. Senator Coriolanus Snow, ambitious apprentice Gamemaker under the notorious Dr. Gaul, has his eyes set on the presidency. Determined to make this year's Games unforgettable, he sees a unique opportunity in Hazel's tragic story. As Hazel fights to protect her brother, she must also contend with Snow's mysterious behavior. It isn't long before she realizes that the Hunger Games isn't the only game being played. ~ The intensity of his scrutiny felt like a physical weight, pressing against her with an almost suffocating force. Then his piercing stare softened into a smile, one so well-crafted and timed it seemed nothing less than a rehearsed performance. She was walking a fine line by challenging a man who held her and her brother's fate in his elegantly gloved palms. With long strides, he closed the distance between them. His gloved hand took hers. The softness of his touch clashed violently with the dread coiling in her stomach. He leaned closer, the warmth of his breath against her ear contradicted the chill his presence invoked as he whispered, "Be careful, Miss Marlowe." ⚠️ This is a Hunger Games fanfiction after all, so it will definitely have moments of violence, death and possibly self harm. **This is a fan-created work inspired by Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" series. All original characters and overarching story elements belong to their respective copyright holders. This fanfiction is a homage to the original works.

The pair would never admit how similar they were, to one another they were extremely different. In fact, they'd both prefer to have no interaction with the other but their mutual friend - Sejanus Plinth - would make that increasingly difficult. Both perfect in the eyes of the Capitol, every step they take being a calculated manoeuvre... until snow began to fall with a pour of rain. ──────────── Rated mature: Violence, death, addiction, mental health, mature language and sexual themes.
