The Reaping Day for the fiftieth Hunger Games begins, and fear grips all the districts of Panem. This year, for the second Quarter Quell, double the number of tributes will be taken to the Capitol. Haymitch Abernathy from District Twelve wants only one thing – to get through the day and be with the girl he loves. But when his name is called along with three other tributes, he must say goodbye to his dreams. The Games begin, and Haymitch quickly realises he is destined to lose. Yet, he has no intention of giving up… Will he manage to take his fight far beyond the borders of the deadly arena?
