The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds

It is fueled by ambition.
It is spurred by the spirit of competition.
But the price of power is too high...

The morning of the Harvest arrives, marking the start of the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow prepares to seize his one chance at glory and honor. His once-powerful family is experiencing hard times, and their last hope is that Coriolanus proves to be smarter, more resourceful, and more charming than his competitors and becomes the mentor to the winning tribute.
But for now, his chances are slim, and everything is stacked against him...
He is given the humiliating task of training a girl tribute from the poorest District 12. Now their fates are inextricably intertwined — and every decision Coriolanus makes will lead either to success or failure. Either to triumph or catastrophe.
When the deadly fight begins in the arena, Snow realizes that he feels inappropriately warm feelings for the doomed girl. Soon he will have to decide what is more important: the necessity to follow the rules or the desire to survive at any cost?
