After winning the brutal Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta
return to their district, hoping for a peaceful future.



But their victory has caused rebellion to break out ... and the
Capitol has decided that someone must pay.


As Katniss and Peeta are forced to visit the districts on the
Capitol's Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. Unless they
can convince the world that they are still lost in their love
for each other, the consequences will be horrifying.


Then comes the cruellest twist: the contestants for the
next Hunger Games are announced, and Katniss and Peeta are forced
into the arena once more.
