The phenomenal fifth book in the Hunger Games series

Acclaimed actor Jefferson White, who starred in Paramount Network's Yellowstone as Jimmy Hurdstrom, brings his talent to the worldwide best-selling Hunger Games series as narrator of the Sunrise on the Reaping audiobook.

When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?

As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes.

Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves.

When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He is torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who is nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he has been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight—and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

Editorial Reviews

“Jefferson White shows remarkable skill balancing a youthful cast with the sobering reality they must face…White’s perfect pacing adds intensity to the brutality of the games…White smoothly distinguishes a large cast of characters…Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven’ is interspersed with the narrative, and White’s emotional delivery enhances Haymitch’s heartbreak…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“A propulsive, brutal Hunger Games prequel is here. And it’s great.” New York Times
“Yes, the new Hunger Games prequel is really that good. Everything Hunger Games fans could want and more.” USA Today
