Coriolanus is the star student of the University Capitol, after his triumphant return from District 12. Under Dr. Gaul, he has never had a clearer path to his goal of absolute power. As he counts down his last days of university, he must prove himself to Dr. Gaul one more time, to show he has what it takes to wield the power he desires. The Hunger Games have taken hold of the capitol, and has become the focal point of the political and social framework that envelops Panem. The fifteenth Hunger Games, once again directed by Dr. Gaul, will for the first time ever be run by the senior students of the university. Coriolanus' experiences 5 years ago serve as both a blessing and a curse for his final task, winning the proposal and making the Hunger Games his own. == Rosalyn Crane was gifted, creative and talented, but lacked her sister's natural attraction to the cutthroat world of the capitol. As a budding gamemaker, her designs not only have to face the scrutiny of Dr. Gaul, but also the harrowing political world that is forever linked with the Hunger Games. Her talent attracts the attention of Coriolanus, who proposes a mysterious and seductive partnership. The Snake and the Rose forge a contract which will bring them to the brink, as they fight for footing in the cutthroat world they are about to enter. In The Hunger Games, even the most innocent people can become murderers, and there is no clear winner. Even those that make it out alive will forever be anchored by what occurs in just a few short days. Nearly crushed by the tenth Hunger Games, Coryo must navigate a second with new responsibility, pressure, and a new woman by his side. With his capabilities pushed to the limit, there is no doubt... Snow always lands on top.
