As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.

Against all odds, Katniss has won the Hunger Games. She and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark are miraculously still alive. Katniss should be relieved, happy even. After all, she has returned to her family and her longtime friend, Gale. Yet nothing is the way Katniss wishes it to be. Gale holds her at an icy distance. Peeta has turned his back on her completely. And there are whispers of a rebellion against the Capitol - a rebellion that Katniss and Peeta may have helped create. Much to her shock, Katniss has fueled an unrest she’s afraid she cannot stop.

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding. It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans - except Katniss.

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

Katniss Everdeen selamat dari Hunger Games, dua kali. Tapi Katniss belum sepenuhnya aman dari ancaman Capitol meskipun sekarang ia dalam lindungan Distrik 13. Pemberontakan makin merajalela di distrik-distrik untuk menjatuhkan Capitol. Kini tak ada seorang pun yang dicintai Katniss aman karena Presiden Snow ingin menumpas revolusi dengan menghancurkan Mockingjay... bagaimanapun caranya.

Dua puluh empat peserta. Hanya satu pemenang yang selamat. Amerika Utara musnah sudah. Kini di bekasnya berdiri negara Panem, dengan Capitol sebagai pusat kota yang dikeliling dua belas distrik. Katniss gadis 16 tahun tinggal bersama adik perempuan dan ibunya di distrik termiskin di Distrik12. Karena pemberontakan di masa lalu terhadap Capitol, setiap tahun masing-masing Distrik harus mengirim seorang anak perempuan dan anak lelaki untuk bertarung sampai mati dan ditayangkan secara langsung di acara televisi The Hunger Games.

Api Pemberontakan sudah tersulut. Dan Capitol ingin membalas dendam. Katniss Everdeen berhasil keluar sebagai pemenang Hunger Games bersama Peeta Mellark. Tapi kemenangan itu menyulut kemarahan Capitol. Kemenangan Katniss ternyata membangkitkan semangat pemberontakan di beberapa distrik untuk menentang kekuasaan Presiden Snow yang kejam.

I ruinerne af det gamle Nordamerika ligger nu landet Panem, som består af tolv distrikter. Hvert år tvinger magthaverne i Panem hvert distrikt til at udvælge en pige og en dreng, som skal deltage i Dødsspillet - den årlige kamp om liv og død på direkte TV. 16-årige Kattua bor sammen med sin mor og lillesøster i det fattigste af alle distrikterne. Den dag hun står frem og frivilligt tager sin lillesøsters plads i Dødsspillet, betragter hun det som en dødsdom. Men Kattua har før haft døden tæt på, og hun er klar til at kæmpe for sit liv.

Kattua har overlevet Døsspillet og burde være lettet, lykkelig faktisk, nu da hun er vendt hjem til familien og barndomsvennen, Gale. Men hendes medsoner fra Distrikt 12, Peeta, har vendt hende ryggen, og intet er, som det burde være. Rundt omkring i landet hviskes der om oprør mod Capitol, og magthaverne mener, at Kattua er skyld i uroen. Nu vil de have hævn. Kattua og Peeta bliver sendt rundt i landet for at overbevise folket om, at de er vildt forelskede i hinanden, og at alt er godt. Men inderst inde er Kattua måske slet ikke interesseret i at dæmpe uroen.

Suzanne Collins maakte in de zomer van 2019 bekend dat er een prequel komt op haar internationale bestsellerserie De Hongerspelen. Het boek zal zich 64 jaar voor de gebeurtenissen in de rest van de reeks afspelen, op de vooravond van de tiende Hongerspelen. Katniss Everdeen, de heldin uit de trilogie, zal dus niet in het verhaal voorkomen, maar Collins legt de focus in dit boek op de zogeheten 'donkere dagen' van Panem, vlak na de eerste - en mislukte - opstand tegen het Capitool.

Na abertura dos Jogos Vorazes, a organização não recolhe os corpos dos combatentes caídos e dá tiros de canhão até o final. Cada tiro, um morto. Onze tiros no primeiro dia. Treze jovens restaram, entre eles, Katniss. Para quem os tiros de canhão serão no dia seguinte?... Após o fim da América do Norte, uma nova nação chamada Panem surge. Formada por doze distritos, é comandada com mão de ferro pela Capital.

Depois da improvável e inusitada vitória de Katniss Everdeen e Peeta Mellark nos últimos Jogos Vorazes, algo parece ter mudado para sempre em Panem. Aqui e ali, distúrbios e agitações nos distritos dão sinais de que uma revolta é iminente. Katniss e Peeta, representantes do paupérrimo Distrito 12, não apenas venceram os Jogos, mas ridicularizaram o governo e conseguiram fazer todos – incluindo o próprio Peeta – acreditarem que são um casal apaixonado.

A coragem de Katniss nos jogos fez nascer a esperança em um país disposto a fazer de tudo para se livrar da opressão. E agora, contra a própria vontade, ela precisa assumir seu lugar como símbolo da causa rebelde. Ela precisa virar o Tordo.
