Coriolanus Snow 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.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (The Hunger Games: Movie Tie-In Edition) by Suzanne Collins explores these high-stakes dynamics in a world where every decision counts.
