內容簡介
The second book in the ground-breaking Hunger Games trilogy. After winning the brutal Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta return to their district, hoping for a peaceful future. But their victory has caused rebellion to break out ... and the Capitol has decided that someone must pay. As Katniss and Peeta are forced to visit the districts on the Capitol's Victory Tour, the stakes are higher than ever. Unless they can convince the world that they are still lost in their love for each other, the consequences will be horrifying. Then comes the cruellest twist: the contestants for the next Hunger Games are announced, and Katniss and Peeta are forced into the arena once more.
在不可能獲勝的情勢中,凱妮絲從飢餓遊戲生還,與比德攜手返迴傢鄉。依照遊戲規則,往後的日子應該是安全、優裕的。但,他們的勝利是都城的羞辱,而謠傳騷亂已在十二區之間滋生,凱妮絲竟然是叛變的象徵人物。另一方麵,狩獵夥伴蓋爾和競技夥伴比德,對凱妮絲的態度,隻能是冰冷的深情。
令凱妮絲感到震驚的,是這場因她而起的動亂,她怕是無法熄滅的。當「勝利之旅」的日子來臨,凱妮絲和比德在監控下巡迴十二區,接受全民歡呼,攸關生死的賭注升高瞭。如果他們無法證明自己真的是在「無可救藥的熱戀」中,讓都城沒有絲毫疑慮,後果將不堪設想。
史諾總統居然親臨凱妮絲位於「勝利者之村」的新傢,恐懼因此是具體的,凶兆成為事實。統治技巧展露無遺,恐慌蔓延全國。在殺戮中,凱妮絲必須宣布她和比德的婚約,那是都城多麼歡樂的一刻啊!僞裝的美麗與殘酷、隱藏的現實、施惠國的權力結構、人民的痛與反抗,都將在傢鄉、都城和巡迴中的每一站呈現。
然而,最驚人的是第七十五屆飢餓遊戲適逢二十五年一次的「大旬祭」,都城將有令凱妮絲和全國人驚愕的安排。她終於知道,一切已經無可挽迴,連妹妹小櫻和母親也無法顧及,她必須離去。至於蓋爾,她逐漸瞭解,他的意誌原來這麼堅定,已經下定決心。這一次,唯有拼得一死,纔可能挽救比德。她以為,這是她眼前唯一的目標……
