Book in Polish by Suzanne Collins. The fifth volume in the 'Deathly Hallows' series If you're about to lose everything you love, why else fight? On the day of the Harvest Festival, the people of Panem wake up removed by fear. This year, to mark the second quarter-century of the Harvest Festival, twice as many tributes will hit the arena. Haymitch Abernathy of the Twelfth District prefers not to ponder what fate will bring. He just wants to get through the day and meet the girl he loves. When he hears his name called, he feels his future is in ruins. He has to leave his loved ones and go to the Capitol, accompanied by three other Tributes from the Twelve: a friend who is like a younger sister, a compulsive analyst and the biggest snob in town. Haymitch knows from the outset that he is destined to be shot, but something pushes him to fight.... He wants only one thing: for its consequences to echo far beyond the deadly arena.
