Okay, hold on to your Mockingjays, because it’s finally here. The phenomenal fifth book in the Hunger Games series has arrived, and it’s the one we’ve all been waiting for.
This time, we’re going back. We’re going back to the fiftieth annual Hunger Games—the second Quarter Quell. And you know what that means. The Capitol has twisted the rules to be even more terrifying. This year, twice as many tributes will be reaped from their homes.
And whose story is this? None other than a young Haymitch Abernathy.
Before he was the cynical mentor, Haymitch was just a kid in District 12, trying to make it through the day and be with the girl he loved. He has dreams, and none of them involve the arena. But then his name is called.
His world shatters. He’s torn from his family, his love, and sent to the Capitol with three other tributes from District 12—a friend who’s practically his sister, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. From the moment he arrives, Haymitch knows something is wrong. He’s been set up to fail, to lose everything.
But there’s a fire in him. A spark of defiance that refuses to be extinguished. When you’ve been set up to lose it all, what is there left to fight for? Haymitch decides to fight anyway, and to make that fight echo far beyond the confines of the deadly arena. This is the story of how the legend began.
