About this listen

Get ready for a new series that brings listeners deeper into the lush, romantic, and puzzle-filled world of the #1 bestselling Inheritance Games series (over 3 million copies sold!), set a year after we last saw Avery and the Hawthornes.

Seven tickets. An island of dreams. The chance of a lifetime.

Welcome to the Grandest Game, an annual competition run by billionaire Avery Grambs and the four infamous Hawthorne brothers, whose family fortune she inherited. Designed to give anyone a shot at fame and fortune, this year’s game requires one of seven golden tickets to enter. With millions on the line, those seven players will do whatever it takes to win.

Some of the players are in it for the money. Some for power. Some for reasons all their own. Every single one of them has secrets. Amidst it all is Grayson Hawthorne, tasked with a vital role in this year’s game. But as tensions rise and the mind-bending challenges push the players to their limits—physically, mentally, and emotionally—it soon becomes clear that not everyone is playing by the rules.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Lynn Barnes delivers a brand-new series in the world of The Inheritance Games, where fan-favorite and new characters collide in a game you’ll never forget.

Audiobook Edition is read by Anjali Kunapaneni (as GiGi), Christine Lakin (as Lyra), and Zachary Webber (as Rohan).

Hard to put down

this book was hard to stop listening to. What would happen next. Would puzzles be solved, would secrets be told, would people get to the shore. But the end the end all I can say is WHY!!!!!. You have to read to understand the why.

Entertaining and twisty

The story was very cool and I actually enjoyed this book more than The Brothers Hawthorne. The unique games, relationships, and twists left me excited for the next time I could listen.

The plot thickens and the backstory is told! Love more of this story

Such a good unwinding of back stories of characters throughout the series and another twisted game to unravel to be a part of! Absolutely loved it and recommend!

The grandest game

I enjoyed seeing hearing Lyra perspective in the book and I also think that they should’ve had Grayson’s perspective with her and I would also enjoyed Avery’s perspective but overall of the book in the pot really good I would just like to know about more characters

Exciting New Series!!

This is a good first book in a new series. It is a spinoff of the Inheritance Games series, and the reader hopes for some connections to the characters we have grown to love. There isn't as much of that as I might have liked, but that is mainly because Barnes had to introduce the new characters. I look forward to the next book—hopefully soon!!

Perfect addition to the series!

The story is so enticing I couldn’t put it down. My favorite thing I’ve read all year. Such a pleasure to jump back into this story from a different angle! Narration is very well done, pacing of speech and story is perfect

I thoroughly enjoy this book

I really like the plot and how she presented everything. It was very nice. When is the second book coming out in the series? Does anyone know?
