About the Story

After winning the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return to District 12 expecting a safer future. Instead, they discover that Katniss's actions in the arena have become a symbol of resistance against the Capitol.

As they embark on the Victory Tour, they witness growing unrest across the districts. President Snow views Katniss as a threat and demands that she convince the nation her actions were motivated only by love for Peeta—not rebellion.

When the Capitol announces the 75th Hunger Games, also known as the Third Quarter Quell, Katniss is once again drawn into a deadly competition where the rules have changed and survival becomes even more difficult.
