About the book: 2020 / He is fueled by ambition. He is driven by the spirit of competition. But the price of power is too high... The morning of the Harvest arrives, when the Tenth Hunger Games begin. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing to seize his only opportunity to gain fame and honor. His once-powerful family is falling on hard times, and their last hope is that Coriolanus will prove cunning, smarter and more charming than his rivals and become the mentor of the victorious tribute. But so far his chances are negligible, and everything is stacked against him... He is given a humiliating task - to train a tribute girl from the poorest District 12. Now their destinies are inextricably intertwined - and every decision made by Coriolanus will lead to either success or failure. Either to triumph or to disaster. When a deadly battle begins in the arena, Snow realizes that he has inappropriately warm feelings for the doomed girl. Soon he will have to decide what is more important: the need to follow the rules or the desire to survive at any cost?
