Description

Ambition drives him.
Rivalry pushes him forward.
But power always comes at a cost.

On the morning of the reaping for the tenth Hunger Games, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is ready for his one chance at glory as a mentor. Once part of a powerful family, the Snows have fallen on hard times, and Coriolanus knows that his future depends on his ability to outshine and outmaneuver his peers by guiding the winning tribute.

But luck is not on his side. He’s been assigned the female tribute from District 12—seen as the weakest and least desirable contender. Their fortunes are now tied together, and every move Coriolanus makes could secure his success or lead to disaster. Inside the arena, survival is the only law. Outside of it, unexpected feelings for his tribute leave him torn between following the rules and doing whatever it takes to secure his place in a world where power is everything.
