BALLAD OF FIRE AND SNOW

Phoenix Ashwood doesn't know she carries the blood of legends. Doesn't know her grandmother was the songbird who captivated the Capitol and vanished into myth. Doesn't know her grandfather sits in the presidential mansion, watching the districts with those same pale eyes, calculating and cold. She knows only hunger, survival, and the terrible mathematics of the reaping-how many times her name sits in that glass ball, waiting to be drawn.

The 72nd Hunger Games will change everything. Will bring ghosts back from the dead and secrets into the light. Will prove that some fires never truly go out-they only wait, smoldering in the ashes, for the right moment to burn again. Will show that President Snow's greatest creation might also be his greatest threat, born of his own blood and the wild spirit he thought he'd destroyed decades ago.
