"Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins â where 'never safe' takes on a terrifying new meaning. Our saga continues in Panem, a nation of twelve districts, where the infamous Capitol cruelly reigns. As the sequel to the Hunger Games, our heroes, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, have emerged as victors of the 74th Hunger Games. However, victory comes at a grave cost. Tensions mount as whispers of rebellion stir in the districts, fueled by their defiance of the Capitol's oppressive regime. The star-crossed lovers find themselves in the heart of the turmoil, becoming symbols of rebellion. However, the Capitol isn't one to stand idle. Under President Snow's icy glare, the Capitol devises the third Quarter Quell, a special 75th edition of the Games, with a twist that threatens to shatter their hard-won peace. The stage is set, and the arena is more deadly than ever.
