In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, the shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts.

But Katniss has been close to dead before--and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
