Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice, but the games are far from over. Rescued from the arena and taken to the long-lost District 13, she finds herself at the center of a massive rebellion. Her home has been destroyed, and the districts of Panem are rising up against the Capitol. The leaders of the rebellion need a symbol to unite the people, and they have chosen Katniss. She must become the Mockingjay.

Thrust into a role she never wanted, Katniss becomes the face of a war that threatens to consume everyone she loves. The fight for freedom is a battlefield of propaganda, morally ambiguous choices, and devastating losses that blur the line between the rebels and the Capitol. As she navigates the psychological toll of the conflict and the manipulation from all sides, Katniss must confront the true cost of war and decide for herself what is worth fighting for in the final, definitive struggle for the soul of Panem.
