Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.

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 outmaneuvre 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 favour 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.
