 What is there left to fight for when you've been set up to lose all you care about?

 Fear shakes the districts of Panem as the fiftieth annual Hunger Games begins.  This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be abducted from their homes.

 Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances again in District 12.  He only worries about getting through the day and being with the person he loves.

 He can feel all of his dreams break as they call Haymitch's name.
 He is taken away from his family and his love and sent to the Capitol with three other District 12 tributes: a young acquaintance who is almost like a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up female in town.

 Haymitch knows he's been set up to lose as the Games start.
 But there's something in him that wants to fight and have that fight echo far beyond the deadly arena.

 The Hunger Games original trilogy changed the landscape of global YA and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was an instant number one bestseller (Nielsen Bookscan, May 2020).

 Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth, and Peter Dinklage all starred in the four Hunger Games movies that were filmed.

 A movie based on the fifth novel in the Hunger Games series, Sunrise On the Reaping, is set to come out in November 2026.
