Description

 

‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is the best Hunger

Games movie of them all’ USA TODAY

‘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

pre-order Sunrise On the Reaping – the fifth book

in the Hunger Games series – coming March

2025

 

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 outmaneuvre 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

Hunger Games original trilogy changed the face of global YA.

All three of the Hunger Games original novels

have been made into major feature films, starring Jennifer Lawrence,

Josh Hutcherson & Liam Hemsworth

The best-selling prequel to The

Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds

and Snakes, was a global number one feature film

in autumn 2023 and a number one New York Times and The

Times bestseller in hardback in May 2020.
