For ninety-nine years, the cursed forest has trapped the people of Grimwood, its twisting vines and creeping brambles pressing against the fortress walls. No one who leaves ever returns.Calliope’s job as a gatherer takes her beyond the gates’ protection, where she prefers the dangers of the darkened forest to the suffocating life within the city’s walls. Angry and starving, she withdraws from society after unimaginable losses.But when the sovereign rulers declare the population too large, they host the Grimwood Games-a brutal gladiatorial spectacle in which the desperate are forced to kill for entertainment. The winners are sent into the forest to seek salvation, though none have ever returned.When Calliope is forced into the Games, she must face the same brutal events that destroyed her family. To survive, she will have to train and fight savage murderers, rapists, and thieves until only a few champions survive, and she soon learns that the deadliest threats lie within the training grounds themselves.
