Welcome to the Enclave...

I fell for him and he lied.
Made a deal to give me to his father.

Now we’re all captured, and my heart has been torn to shreds.

I thought it couldn’t get any worse than that, but I’m proven just how wrong I was.
The games have begun, and there is no guarantee for survival in the enclave.
But the king has harbored a secret, one I am to work closely with.

I can only hope we get out of this alive.

But when your hanging from a rope in a cell with a monster...
It’s hard to see any hope at all.
