Summary
Suzanne Collins: The Ballad of the Songbird and the Serpent
The fourth book in the Hunger Games series. The tenth anniversary of the Hunger Games will begin on harvest morning. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow prepares for a unique opportunity to participate as a mentor in the Games. The once-powerful Snow White family has fallen on hard times, and their fate hinges on the unlikely possibility that Coriolanus will use his charm, wisdom, and maneuver to help the schoolgirls win the Games. Everything is against him. He was given the humiliating task of leading a female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. His fate is now completely intertwined: every choice he makes can lead to victory or defeat, triumph or downfall. In the arena, there will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus begins to feel the doom of his tribute... And he will have to choose between his personal need to follow the rules and his desire to survive no matter what.
