Before the 71st Hunger Games, Johanna Mason was a girl growing up in District 7. Before the Capitol sunk its lacquered teeth into her, she was not too different from many other girls in her district. She had friends, a family, a sweetheart even. But like all other children in every district across Panem, she was scared of the Reaping. This work follows Johanna from ten through sixteen, looking at the hardships she faced before her ultimate test that molded her into a tribute with a hidden potential to win.

Summary
"They can't hurt me. I'm not like the rest of you. There's nobody left I love."
Johanna Mason has made a critical, life altering error. An error that results in char, ash, and graves. Resentful, angry, and turbulent Johanna is back in the Capitol more frequently than before. An example has been made of her, another example in President Snow's many references to hold up to other Victors. An example that says: look here, look at how I own you, how even their deaths will not free you, how your own death will not free you. Being the bitch with the axe the Capitol has prescribed her as is easier now than ever, but it has always just been an act. So easy that Johanna wonders if this- the fire, the rage, the defiance- was always something in her, carved in bone.
