Free Audio Book : The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Hunger Games)

The morning heralds the commencement of the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is bracing himself for his only opportunity to gain prestige as a mentor in the Games. The once powerful Snow household is now in decline, its future hinging on the slim hope that Coriolanus can outsmart, outcharm, and outstrategize his peers to mentor the victorious tribute.

The prospects are not in his favor. He has been bestowed the embarrassing task of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, regarded as the most underprivileged of all. Their destinies are now irrevocably intertwined - every decision Coriolanus takes could tip the scales towards approval or disgrace, victory or downfall. Inside the arena, it's a battle for survival. Outside the arena, Coriolanus begins to empathize with his ill-fated tribute... and must balance his obligation to adhere to the rules against his urge to survive, regardless of the cost.
