A bestselling young adult mystery thriller by Jennifer Lynn Barnes that masterfully combines riddles, family secrets, romance, and high-stakes puzzles.

Seventeen-year-old Avery Grambs has spent her life expecting nothing but hardship. Practical, intelligent, and determined to survive, her plans for the future are completely overturned when she unexpectedly inherits billions of dollars from the recently deceased billionaire Tobias Hawthorne—a man she has never met.

There is one condition: Avery must live for one year in the sprawling Hawthorne House, an enormous mansion filled with hidden passages, coded messages, secret rooms, and elaborate puzzles designed by Tobias himself.

The inheritance enrages the wealthy Hawthorne family, especially Tobias's four grandsons—Grayson, Jameson, Nash, and Xander—each with distinct personalities and motives. As Avery searches for the reason behind her unexpected fortune, she becomes entangled in a dangerous web of mysteries, rivalries, and conspiracies. Every clue uncovers another secret, and someone is willing to kill to prevent the truth from emerging.

Fast-paced and filled with cliffhangers, The Inheritance Games delivers an addictive blend of mystery, adventure, and romance while exploring themes of family, trust, identity, and ambition.
