书籍简介

《饥饿游戏》前传　强悍回归！

最黑暗而不为人知的过往即将揭晓

愿机会永远对你有利

野心和良心相互拉扯

生死决战下的人性挣扎

为了权力，他愿意付出多大代价？

当「燃烧的女孩」凯妮丝还未诞生、「学舌鸟」尚未成为反抗军的革命象徵之前，饥饿游戏历经过怎样的黑暗历史？时间回到《饥饿游戏》首部曲的64年前，施惠国走过大战后的黑暗岁月，曾经一手掌控「施惠国」的史诺总统，当时还只是个18岁的青年。就读首都学院的史诺来自望族，并渴望证明自己的能力，而这时他的面前出现一个机会。第10届饥饿游戏即将开始，但观众对游戏的兴趣逐渐消失。为了让游戏更具可看性，史上第一次，游戏加入导师机制，来自学院的优等生将被指派担任导师，每人负责指导一位来自十二个行政区的贡品。

青年史诺企图心十足，但机会并不对他有利。当「饥饿游戏」创始人公布每位导师负责的贡品，青年史诺暗自希望能分到优秀的贡品。所有人都看得出来自一、二区的贡品佔尽优势，四到十一区的贡品也不时有不错人选，然而当结果揭晓，青年史诺却分到来自最贫困十二区的少女……

青年史诺失望地接下这个任务，如今导师和贡品的命运紧密相连，每个决定有可能离胜利更进一步，更可能通往毁灭的深渊。游戏规则之下，不计一切代价求生存，当竞技场内展开殊死决战，竞技场外的青年史诺会如何权衡决断？

Ambition will fuel him.

Competition will drive him.

But power has its price.

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.

The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined — every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
