Emerald Bellona’s life has never been her own. Born in the shadow of the Capitol, she was only six years old when her mother, beloved District 1 victor Amethyst Alexander, died of a morphling overdose. “An accident,” they called it, an inexplicable tragedy. But even then, Emerald knew the truth—her mother just couldn’t take it anymore, couldn’t bear the weight of being one of the Capitol’s darlings.
Ten years later, Emerald’s time has run out. It’s a moment she’s always known was coming. As the child of a victor who dared to take her own life, it was never a question of if Emerald would go into the Games, only a matter of when. After a lifetime of training, she thought she'd be ready.
But no one is ever truly ready for the Hunger Games, and no one prepares you for what comes after. As the final canon sounds, Emerald is faced with a chilling truth—the Games never end. When you’re one of the Capitol’s darlings, you never get to leave the arena.
To escape her mother’s fate, Emerald has to fight like hell in a war she never saw coming—a war that will take her from the arena to Victor’s Village, from the Capitol to a bunker in a district that isn’t supposed to exist. A war that will teach her that new beginnings can be found in the unlikeliest of places, like a steely-eyed boy from District 12.
Tribute. Victor. Rebel. Soldier. The Capitol’s Jewel is told in four parts that tell Emerald’s story from her beginnings in the 72nd Hunger Games through the Second Rebellion.
