It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the
tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is
preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty
house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance
that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow
students to mentor the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating
assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the
low. Their fates are now completely intertwined--every choice Coriolanus makes
could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a
fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed
tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to
survive no matter what it takes.
