In the Shadow of Snow | Coriolanus Snow

Vivienne Hawke, a young woman with a secret past from District 12, moves through the Capitol as an intern for Dr. Gaul, the mastermind behind the Games. Her cold and calculating nature is put to the test as she crosses paths with Coriolanus Snow, a rising power figure in the Capitol.

As they work together to design the deadly Games, their relationship begins with animosity, with Snow belittling Vivienne and testing her resolve. Despite her distaste for his world, Vivienne has her own agenda-her sick mother is dependent on the wealth and power she hopes to gain from the Capitol, making her survival more than just about ambition.

While navigating the treacherous Capitol politics, Snow's growing interest in Vivienne turns from disdain to an obsession, even as he unknowingly pushes her to her limits.
