1. Prologue

~PROLOGUE~

Panem's Second Fall. Another period of the dark times.

It's happening again.

In our ignorance, we thought our peace was eternal. We thought our nation was rid of strife and war. We thought that this was our well-earned rest, after 76 years of suffering.

We thought wrong.

We were forced to watch a grotesque remake of the Hunger Games, forced to watch mutilated, brain-washed kids tear each other's throats out. Again. These children were no longer human. They were no better than mutts. Devoid of any human feelings, of compassion and guilt. Killing machines trying to quench their thirst for blood.

We do not know what is going on, or who the man claiming himself as Snow's exiled grandson is. But we do know one thing:

The Hunger Games is back, only with a new name.

The Death Carnival.
