Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: pass high school, win a scholarship and try to make ends meet.
In a completely unexpected way her fate changes when she discovers one day that a mysterious billionaire named Tobias Hawthorne has died and left her almost all of his fortune. Avery has no idea why - or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.
In order to receive the inheritance, Avery must move to the sprawling Hawthorne mansion, in all of whose rooms the old man left his mark - and his love of riddles, mazes and ciphers.
Unfortunately for her, the mansion also houses Hawthorne's four brilliant and charismatic grandchildren, who grew up expecting to inherit billions. Trapped in a dangerous world of wealth, temptation and intrigue, with danger lurking around every corner, Avery will have to play the game just to survive.
The Inheritance Games is the first book in the "Hawthorne Legacy" trilogy, which sold more than a million copies worldwide and starred for many weeks on the "New York Times" bestseller list.
