#hunger games prequel

At the dawn of the reaping, ambitious 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow has a realization: he only has one shot to save his family from destitution and earn eternal glory, and that shot revolves around the victor he’s assigned to mentor in the tenth annual Hunger Games.

The odds are against him - he must mentor the doomed female tribute, Lucy Gray, from District 12, the lowest of the low. What starts as a humiliating assignment quickly turns as his tribute begins surprising them all. Coriolanus and Lucy Gray will need to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver everyone around them - inside and outside the arena - to triumph. But winning has its price.

Set more than 60 years before we meet Katniss Everdeen, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is the terrifying prequel to The Hunger Games series you didn’t know you needed. Check out this heart pounding MCTBA nominee today!
