The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions—including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.
Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows she’s not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, two of the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture—by any means necessary.
With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, Knives Out-like family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.

The Inheritance Games
21 books in catalog
High-stakes mystery, intricate puzzles, and psychological depth define the young adult fiction represented in the widely acclaimed series The Inheritance Games. The author Jennifer Lynn Barnes (who mostly goes by Jen) was born on October 19, 1984, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has written more than twenty novels that combine fast-paced thriller elements with complex character dynamics.
Barnes began her writing career at a young age, writing her first published novel when she was nineteen years old and selling her first five books while still in college. Parallel to her career as a novelist, she pursued an academic track in cognitive science and psychology, earning a bachelor's degree from Yale University in 2006, studying at Cambridge University as a Fulbright Scholar, and completing her Ph.D. at Yale University in 2012. Her scholarly work focuses on cognitive science, psychiatry, and the psychology of fandom and fiction. She later joined the faculty at the University of Oklahoma as an Associate Professor with a dual appointment in Psychology and Professional Writing. In addition to her young adult novels, she has written original television pilot scripts for networks such as USA and MTV.
Informed by her academic research into human cognition and narrative engagement, Barnes crafts thrillers and mystery novels built around intricate puzzles, unexpected plot twists, and secret societies. Her stories frequently examine power dynamics, family secrets, elite institutions, and moral dilemmas, placing brilliant young protagonists in high-stakes situations where they must solve complex intellectual riddles under intense pressure.
