Description
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (A Hunger Games Novel) (The Hunger Games).
Ambition ignites his dreams. Rivalry sharpens his resolve. But the pursuit of power demands a dangerous sacrifice.
As the tenth annual Hunger Games approaches, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow sees a rare opportunity to restore both his family’s reputation and his own future. Once one of the Capitol’s most respected families, the Snows have fallen into hardship, and Coriolanus knows that success as a mentor in the Games may be his only chance to reclaim their former glory.
His hopes quickly falter when he’s assigned the female tribute from District 12—a district with little history of producing victors and even less reason for optimism. What initially appears to be an impossible challenge soon becomes a test of intelligence, strategy, and determination, as Coriolanus competes against fellow mentors for recognition and influence.
Inside the arena, survival depends on strength, cunning, and luck. Outside it, an equally dangerous game unfolds as political ambition, public perception, and personal loyalty collide. As Coriolanus grows unexpectedly attached to the tribute he is meant to guide, he faces impossible choices that blur the line between compassion and self-preservation.
Every decision carries consequences. Every alliance has a cost. And in a world where victory often comes at the expense of humanity, Coriolanus must decide just how far he is willing to go to secure the future he believes he deserves.
This gripping prequel explores the origins of one of Panem’s most infamous figures, revealing how ambition, circumstance, and difficult choices can shape the path from promise to power.
