Now a blockbuster, star-studded movie!

  "Everything you would expect from Collins is here: fraught
  teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of friendship,
  betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill" 
  The Guardian


  "It works beautifully... please don't
  make us wait another decade" The Times



  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 outmanoeuvre 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.





  Three books, four films and one worldwide phenomenon,
  the original Hunger Games trilogy changed the face of global YA.


  The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was a global number
  one hit in hardback on release w/c 18 March 2020.
