The Hunger Games – The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

描述

將拉開第十屆「飢餓遊戲」序幕的「選拔日」清晨，在「凱匹特」（Capitol），十八歲的科里奧蘭納斯・雪諾（Coriolanus Snow）正為自己的榮耀機會做準備 —— 他將以遊戲「指導員」的身份參與其中。
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 outmaneuver 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 favor 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.
