On his sixteenth birthday during the Reaping, Coriolanus Snow is picked as a mentor in the Tenth Hunger Games, destined to guide a tribute from District 12.

In this dangerous climate, Snow must navigate alliances, ambition, and moral compromise. The Ukrainian edition is a 432-page hardcover released in 2025.
