The Morphing Games
From the ashes of North America Volterran Empire has emerged. Divided into twelve districts, some of the horrors the opressed humans are forced to endure are universal, the weekly blood donations, the fear of being carted away for even a hint of treasonous behavior.
Others are unique to each District. In District 2, the children of the wealthy are given the best possible education money can buy. But they're educated for only one purpose: violence.
Violence they can use in the annual Morphing Games, in which two adolescents, sixteen through twenty, are sent to the capitol to fight for their lives and the ultimate prize: immortality.
My name is Bella Swan, and I'm a Prospective in the 100th Morphing Games. There's only one problem: I don't want to win.
