The Grandest Game
Synopsis
Seven golden tickets admit seven players to the Grandest Game, an annual competition held on an island. Billionaire Avery Grambs runs it with the four Hawthorne brothers, whose family fortune she inherited. The game is built to give anyone a shot at fame and fortune, and millions are at stake.
The players want different things. Some want the money, some want power, and some have reasons of their own. Every one of them is keeping a secret.
Grayson Hawthorne holds an important role in this year's game. As the challenges push the players physically, mentally and emotionally, tensions climb and it becomes clear that not everyone is following the rules.
The book is a puzzle-driven young adult mystery set a year after the end of the Inheritance Games series. It begins a new series in that world, and it brings familiar Hawthornes together with new characters.
The question is who will break the rules first, and what the winner will have to give up to take the prize.
