The rebellion has been destroyed. District Thirteen has been subdued. The Capitol rises, more powerful than ever. With that, it aims to show Panem and the rest of the world the extremes it is prepared to go to in order to exert its power. There will be more tributes, more pain and more twists than ever before: the Capitol has spoken.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the Roman Empire fell and never would come another civilisation so great. Until Panem. Following in the footsteps of the Ancient Romans, twenty-four children are stolen from their homes and prepped for gladiatorial combat in an exact replica of the once great city. This is the districts' punishment for the rebellion. This is the 1st Hunger Games.

After two epic Games Panem has been thrown to the brink of potential rebellion, so the Gamemakers plan to tone down the Games to the simple concept of twenty-four teenagers entering and one surviving to hushen up the cries of revolt. But it won't be that easy; with the prospect of intense gore and an epic arena the tributes' screams may just be louder than ever.
