With beautiful illustrations by Freya Betts, this softcover edition features stunning wedge-shaped edges with designed patterns. It is an impressive collectible item, ideal for long-time fans or new readers of the Hunger Games series.

The story unfolds on the day of the reaping, which will begin the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the capital, calligrapher Coriolanus Snow prepares for his chance to excel as a mentor in the Games. The once-powerful house of Snow has fallen on hard times, with its fortune depending on his ability to outshine his classmates and guide the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He has been assigned the humiliating task 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 begins to feel for his doomed tribute... and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive at any cost.

Three books, four movies, and a GLOBAL PHENOMENON, the Hunger Games changed the face of global young adult literature. All four volumes of the series have been adapted for the screen, with the first three starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, and Donald Sutherland. The fourth movie, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, will be released in November 2023 with a stellar cast including Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Viola Davis, and Peter Dinklage.

Freya Betts, with this illustration, has added a contemporary touch to the four iconic logos of the work. She is an illustrator in England focusing on hyper-realistic portraiture, mainly through digital painting.

The acclaim for the first book, The Hunger Games, is enthusiastic, with many declaring their obsession with Collins' story and writing.
