Overview
La ambición lo alimentará.
La competencia lo incitará.
Pero el poder tiene su precio.
Es la mañana de la cosecha que dará inicio a la décima competencia anual Los juegos del hambre. En el Capitolio, Coriolanus Snow de dieciocho años, se prepara para su única oportunidad de alcanzar la gloria como mentor en los Juegos. La antiguamente poderosa casa de Snow ha atravesado tiempos difíciles y su destino depende de la remota posibilidad que Coriolanus pueda superar en gracia, astucia y maniobras a sus compañeros de estudios para ser el mentor del tributo ganador.
Las probabilidades están en su contra. Se le ha asignado la humillante tarea de ser mentor del tributo femenino del Distrito 12, el más bajo de lo bajo. Sus destinos están ahora completamente entrelazados: cada decisión que tome Coriolano podría conducirles al éxito o al fracaso, al triunfo o a la ruina. Dentro de la arena, será una lucha a muerte. Fuera de la arena, Coriolanus siente pena por su tributo condenado al fracaso... y debe balancear su necesidad de seguir las reglas con su deseo de sobrevivir sin importar lo que cueste.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
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 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.
