The Grandest Game

About The Grandest Game

Seventeen-year-old Avery Grambs isn't the only one who has ever inherited a fortune from a stranger with an appetite for games: the reclusive Miss Innerly Rhodes turns her own vast wealth into a single winner-take-all competition, drawing four teenagers, each hiding a devastating secret, into a mansion built entirely around puzzles that force them to confront exactly the truths they came to hide. Unlike Avery, none of these players are innocent -- and the game's real prize may be worth far more than money.

Jennifer Lynn Barnes returns to the puzzle-box formula that made The Inheritance Games a hit, but with a sharper, more morally ambiguous cast: instead of one ordinary girl thrown into wealth, The Grandest Game follows several damaged, secretive teenagers competing against each other as much as the puzzles themselves. It's set in the same fictional universe as The Inheritance Games -- Avery Grambs and the Hawthorne brothers exist in this world too -- but follows an entirely new game, cast and mystery.
