Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is centred around Coriolanus Snow, who has one shot at glory as a mentor in the tenth annual Hunger Games. He plans to outcharm, outwit, and outmanoeuvre his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.

The odds are against him: he has been given the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now 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 will do anything it takes to survive.
