Ambition will fuel him.   Competition      will drive him.   But power has its price.         It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth      annual Hunger Games.         In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing      for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty      house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the      slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit,      and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.         The odds are against him.         He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female      tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates      are now completely 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 starts to feel for his doomed tribute... and must      weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive      no matter what it takes.
