Summary
The boy on the banner looked down at him with eyes full of hatred and a golden laurel wreath on his head that had been gained with more blood than any other.
Whenever Seonghwa saw the image of the victor, there was nothing but the memory of that cruel smile as he had slit yet another child's throat. Deeply etched into Seonghwa's memory to forever haunt him.
And the knowledge that he could never bring himself to do what Kim Hongjoong had done.
Or: When Seonghwa gets reaped to compete in the Hunger Games, he is not only sent to an almost promised grave - he is also assigned to be mentored by the infamous Kim Hongjoong. The victor with the highest kill count in the history of the Hunger Games.

Summary

“You'll be partnering up for this-”
“No.”
“Agent Jung, please listen to reason. This is a-”
“No,” Wooyoung clenches both hands into tight fists, “I’m not working with-”
“Is it because I'm just a beta?”
The voice that interrupts his impending tirade startles Wooyoung, making him turn his gaze towards the police officer standing behind him, who just spoke out of turn, sounding more innocently curious than offended by Wooyoung's firm refusal to work with him.

Summary
Running away from his past was supposed to be a fresh start, but it only left Seonghwa feeling like an outsider in his own life. After leaving his hometown to escape a past trauma, he keeps his world small: focusing on university, his part-time jobs, and Iron Tides, the online pirate game he plays with his childhood best friend, Kang Yeosang.
He honestly thought he was fine on his own, but even as the past threatens to catch up with him, he never imagined that the captain of Horizon, the top-ranking guild on the server, would be so stubborn about getting him to join their crew.
In the search for the legendary Cromer, Seonghwa finds something he never expected: a family, a home, and a captain who makes him want to stop running from his past. He thought he could keep his heart guarded, but in the deep waters of Iron Tides, love is the most dangerous treasure of all.

Summary
Yeosang knows better than to get close to other witches. He's content with the life he's built for himself, with his small cottage tucked away in the forest, on the outskirts of a human village. He doesn't need a coven. He doesn't want to - he can't - risk rejection again. Can't risk being chased out of town with only the clothes on his back because his magic was too different, too dangerous. His heart is better kept to himself. It's far better to be lonely and safe than surrounded by witches who hate and fear him.
Then, on the night of the full moon, he meets the Aurora Coven.
