The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (The Hunger Games)

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.
