About the Book:

In the stunning finale to the global phenomenon of the Inheritance Games Saga, discover danger, riches, romance—and the staggering answers to long-brewing mysteries.

Everyone is a player.

In the grandest of games, there is everything to win—money, love, power, revenge—and even more to lose. From Texas to Prague to London and beyond, the Hawthorne family, the players from the Grandest Game, and allies old and new are drawn into a web of centuries-old secrets and mind-bending puzzles. Every clue pulls them deeper; every answer demands a price. To survive, they must unravel the mysteries that bind them together…but some truths are deadly.

Discover danger, riches, romance—and the long-awaited revelations at the heart of Jennifer Lynn Barnes’s most intricate and explosive puzzle yet.
