A stunning deluxe edition of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes—this breathtaking paperback features gorgeous sprayed edges with stenciled artwork and an iconic new cover. It’s the perfect collectible for devoted fans and newcomers alike to Suzanne Collins’ unforgettable dystopian world.

Step back sixty-four years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute. It’s the morning of the reaping for the tenth annual Hunger Games, and eighteen-year-old Coriolanus Snow is fighting for his family’s survival. The once-powerful House of Snow has fallen on desperate times, and Coriolanus has one chance to restore his family’s honor: mentor a tribute to victory.

But fate deals him a cruel hand. He’s assigned the female tribute from District 12—the lowest of the low. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside, something far more dangerous begins to stir: Coriolanus starts to feel something for his doomed tribute. Now he must choose between following the Capitol’s ruthless rules and doing whatever it takes to survive.

This gripping prequel explores the origins of tyranny and the corrupting nature of power. Collins masterfully weaves a tale of ambition, morality, and survival that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about Panem. Watch as a young man transforms into the villain we love to hate—President Snow himself.

Perfect for fans of dystopian fiction, survival stories, and complex character studies that linger long after the final page.
