The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (2020)

The Inheritance Games is the first book in the trilogy revolving around Avery Grambs and the Hawthorne family. This book introduces many of the characters that appear in The Final Gambit, as well as the setting of the Hawthorne House and the major themes and symbols that permeate the trilogy, such puzzles, romance, and dangerous amounts of wealth.

The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (2021)

The Hawthorne Legacy is the sequel to The Inheritance Games and directly precedes The Final Gambit. Avery’s story continues; in this book, she learns that Toby—who is kidnapped and used as a bargaining chip in The Final Gambit—is not, in fact, an unhoused man named “Harry,” but the son of Tobias Hawthorne, the man who bequeathed Avery his fortune and triggered the events of the trilogy.
