第2章

The Hawthorne Legacy Unfolds

Avery Grambs stands on the precipice of inheriting billions. With just weeks until her eighteenth birthday, she's more focused on winning her ongoing competition with Jameson Hawthorne to discover secret passages throughout the sprawling mansion than on the legal preparations her lawyer Alisa wants to discuss. The circular library yields her latest victory-the twelfth hidden passage-adding another tally in her favor against the currently absent Jameson. Life at Hawthorne House has settled into a strange new normal. Six months earlier, the Hawthorne brothers had given Avery a bronze key pin, symbolically accepting her as "one of them" despite her being an outsider who mysteriously inherited their grandfather's fortune. While waiting for Jameson's call from Tuscany, she anonymously donates money to people in need-a small way of distributing the wealth she still feels uncomfortable claiming as her own. When Jameson finally calls, their flirtation is underscored by ongoing mysteries. He's discovered a triangular mirror in her Tuscan villa-potentially another clue in their investigation of a mysterious disk that Toby Hawthorne (the supposedly dead son of Tobias) had taken from Avery. This disk, somehow connected to Avery's deceased mother, remains an enigma that binds them together in their quest for answers. Meanwhile, Avery's days are filled with charity galas and prep school exams, her nights with calls to Jameson, while she wonders why the stoic Grayson never reaches out. At the estate's shooting range, Nash compliments her improving marksmanship-a necessary skill after being shot at, nearly blown up, and kidnapped in her short tenure as the Hawthorne heir. When Nash reminds her of their rule about fighting dirty, Avery's response reveals how much she's changed: "There's no such thing as fighting dirty if you win."

Birthday Surprises and Unwelcome Visitors

Avery's eighteenth birthday dawns with extravagant surprises orchestrated by Jameson-a hot air balloon ride, helicopter trip to the Gulf, beach races, and a transformed topiary garden complete with string quartet and Ferris wheel. But this is no ordinary party; it's "the introvert's ball" with only her closest companions in attendance. Even her sister Max has flown in as a surprise. Most shocking of all, Grayson returns home at last, his unexpected appearance coinciding with what Libby calls "Ferris Wheel Leapfrog Death Match." The morning after, Grayson presents Avery with a leather journal, instructing her to create a comprehensive five-year plan for her finances and commitments. Their conversation is interrupted when security chief Oren announces an unexpected visitor at the gates-a woman named Eve. For months, Avery has kept a secret from everyone but Jameson: Toby Hawthorne has a daughter. Now Eve stands at the gates, her appearance shocking despite Avery's mental preparation. She has Emily Laughlin's strawberry-blonde hair, emerald eyes, heart-shaped face, and freckles-a perfect double that will haunt the Hawthorne brothers. With blood crusted on her temple, Eve delivers devastating news: "They took him." Toby Hawthorne has been kidnapped. Eve explains that Toby found her months ago, and they were doing fine until he spotted someone who forced them to go off the grid. After splitting up with plans to reunite, Toby never showed. Instead, Eve was attacked and warned to forget about him. She came to Avery because Toby instructed her to if anything happened to him. When Grayson appears and sees Eve-the spitting image of his deceased love Emily-the shock on his face is palpable. The family resemblance exists because Emily's mother was also Toby's biological mother, making them half-siblings. The revelation creates immediate tension between the brothers, with Grayson insisting, "She's Toby's daughter, and that makes her one of us."

第4章

The Mysterious Disk and Hidden Agendas

The plot thickens when Eve overhears discussion of a mysterious disk-the very object Toby had taken from Avery months earlier. Despite her pleas for information, Avery remains guarded, unsure how much to reveal about this potentially valuable item and its connection to Emily. Eve's vulnerability shows through her desperation: "I want my father back, and I will do anything to get what I want, even if that means begging for your help." As Eve settles into Hawthorne House, Mrs. Laughlin-who recognizes her immediately as her great-granddaughter-prepares a room for her. Meanwhile, Avery retreats to Tobias Hawthorne's study to examine her drawing of the mysterious disk-a small coinlike object with concentric circles that might be incredibly valuable according to Toby's message to Avery's mother. To break the tension, Xander suggests a game of "Hawthorne Chutes and Ladders"-not a board game but a physical challenge involving secret passages and climbing to the roof from outside. Each player must confess a secret to determine who gets first pick of climbing supplies. Eve's revelation cuts deepest-she describes growing up unwanted and invisible, with half-siblings who received preferential treatment. Her raw honesty makes Avery feel guilty for her suspicion. During the game, Avery observes that Eve is competitive, fearless of heights, and pain-tolerant. She fits naturally at Hawthorne House, with the Hawthornes. On the roof, Jameson admits Avery's birthday marked the second anniversary of Emily's death, and he's been trying not to think about it. Despite her complicated feelings about Eve, Avery decides to tell her about the disk, believing they want the same thing: to find Toby.

The Game Begins

The next morning brings a dramatic turn when Oren arrives clutching a plain white envelope addressed specifically to Avery. Inside, she discovers two items that make her blood run cold: the distinctive golden disk-its surface gleaming as if mocking them-and a cryptic message composed of seemingly random letters scattered across the page. Jameson, drawing from years of experience with his grandfather's puzzles, immediately recognizes it as one of Tobias Hawthorne's favorite code techniques. Working together, they methodically decode three chilling words: "Avenge," "Revenge," "Vengeance," followed by the ominous signature "Avenger." The disk's unexpected return, notably without any ransom demands, suggests something far more calculated and sinister than a simple kidnapping for profit. In the circular library-a room whose very architecture seems designed for confrontations-Avery gathers everyone to examine the evidence. The revenge-themed message immediately draws their attention to a tragic incident from the past: the devastating Hawthorne Island fire. While this fire was long believed to have claimed Toby's life, it actually resulted in three other deaths, leaving behind grieving families and unanswered questions. Avery takes the initiative to contact her grandmother-the formidable matriarch of the Rooney family, whose daughter perished in those flames. Despite her grandmother's notorious violent tendencies, a tense phone call confirms the Rooneys aren't behind Toby's disappearance. Grayson follows suit, reaching out to clear his own extended family-the relatives of victim Colin Anders Wright-from suspicion. With two of the victim families eliminated, their focus naturally shifts to the third affected family: the surviving relatives of David Golding. Xander, always thinking laterally, suggests they examine the nature of the code itself-noting that it would take someone intimately familiar with Tobias Hawthorne's elaborate puzzle games to craft such a message. This insight leads them to an unexpected suspect: Skye Hawthorne, mother to both Jameson and Grayson. When they arrive at her surprisingly modest McMansion-a stark contrast to the usual Hawthorne grandeur-they find her wearing dark sunglasses indoors and speaking in riddles reminiscent of her father. Though she firmly denies any involvement in Toby's disappearance, her visible reaction upon seeing the golden disk betrays recognition. In a moment of candor, she reveals its history: the disk was originally her father's prized possession, stolen years ago by Toby in an act of revenge. However, she maintains-with what appears to be genuine conviction-that she has nothing to do with Toby's current situation.

第6章

Uncovering Family Secrets

Returning from Skye's house, the brothers sit in heavy silence, each wrestling with the weight of their mother's calculated manipulations. Nash finally breaks through the tension, his voice rough with old wounds as he confides in Avery about Skye's recurring pattern. He describes how she would arrive at Hawthorne House, radiating warmth and maternal devotion during those precious first days with her newborns. "She'd hold us for hours," Nash reveals, "singing lullabies and promising forever - making me think 'Maybe this time she'll stay.'" But the pattern never varied; she would inevitably hand her children over to their father, not from a lack of love, but because her ambitions burned brighter than her maternal instincts. "She wanted the rest of it more," Nash explains, "the spotlight, the freedom, the rush of the next big thing." Rebecca Laughlin's emotional turmoil runs equally deep after her encounter with Eve. The young woman's uncanny resemblance to Emily - from the curve of her smile to the way she tucks her hair behind her ear - has shaken Rebecca to her core. She paces her apartment, caught between duty and dread, knowing she should tell her mother about Eve's existence but paralyzed by the implications. "It would be like reopening a wound that never truly healed," she confesses to herself. "She has a grandchild who looks exactly like the daughter she would have chosen to keep, if the universe had given her a choice between Emily and me." The weight of being the surviving sister - the less-favored one - threatens to crush her anew. The family's personal struggles are interrupted by Oren's arrival with disturbing news that adds another layer to their mounting concerns. He produces a manila envelope, hands slightly trembling as he reveals its contents: a new photograph of Toby. The image shows him holding yesterday's newspaper, his face a map of purple bruises and swelling. The lack of ransom demands continues to perplex them, suggesting this is about something far more complex than money. More troubling still, Oren reports that thirteen key members of Avery's security detail have received suspiciously generous job offers from various high-end security firms within the past week - a calculated attempt to systematically dismantle her protection by creating strategic vulnerabilities. When they examine the photograph under bright light, Jameson notices something others missed - certain letters in the newspaper headlines Toby holds are methodically blacked out. After careful analysis, they arrange the marked letters to reveal an ominous message: "I ALWAYS WIN IN THE END." The revelation sends a chill through the room. This isn't just a kidnapping or a threat - it's a calculated move in an elaborate game. Someone isn't simply playing with Avery; they're playing against her, orchestrating events like a grandmaster several moves ahead on a deadly chessboard. The question now isn't just who took Toby, but who has been positioning pieces against them all along.

第7章

The Queen's Gambit

While Eve tries on clothes in Avery's closet, she confesses that Toby hated Hawthorne House, warning her the family had "dark secrets, maybe even dangerous ones." Their conversation is interrupted when Jameson appears, covered in mud and bleeding after a confrontation with Grayson. As Avery updates him on everything, Jameson's insight shifts their perspective: "We were wrong. The person we're dealing with-they're not playing a Hawthorne game." Unlike Tobias Hawthorne's sequential puzzles where one clue leads to the next, these messages aren't connected that way. They're multiple clues to a single answer-"an incomplete riddle, delivered piece by piece." That night, Avery dreams of playing chess with Toby, whose face transforms to reveal bruises. When she looks down, all the pieces have vanished into shadows and fog. Then it's not Toby's voice anymore but Tobias Hawthorne's, warning that strategy requires thinking seven moves ahead before lunging across the table and telling her "Some people kill two birds with one stone. I kill twelve." The next morning, Alisa arrives unannounced with a leather satchel from Tobias Hawthorne's law firm, explaining it was to be delivered specifically if Avery ever met "Evelyn Shane." This revelation stuns her-the old man knew about Eve all along but still chose Avery as his heir. Inside the satchel are four seemingly random items: a handheld steamer, a flashlight, a beach towel, and a mesh bag of magnetic letters-classic elements of one of Tobias Hawthorne's puzzle games. After methodical examination, Avery recognizes the pattern in the magnetic letters as chess notations-P-Q4 (pawn to Queen four) and P-QB4 (pawn to Queen's Bishop four)-the opening moves of the Queen's Gambit, where white sacrifices a pawn to control the board.

第8章

The Final Pieces

Avery's search for chess sets leads her to discover a royal chess set worth nearly half a million dollars in the Hawthorne vault. Examining each piece carefully, she finds the black queen has a hidden seam containing a tiny black paper strip with Tobias Hawthorne's handwriting: "Don't breathe." At school the next day, Avery is summoned to the headmaster's office where a package has been delivered-a wooden jewelry box with six combination dials (15-11-32). Inside lies a cell phone with a countdown timer showing less than 13 hours remaining and a calendar entry labeled "Niv." When she calls the only contact, a deep, aristocratic male voice introduces himself as "Luke"-an old man with "a fondness for riddles." He warns that Avery needs to figure out the next part before the timer runs out or something will happen to Toby. With just over 6 hours left on the countdown, Max makes a critical connection: NIV stands for New International Version of the Bible, and the numbers correspond to Luke 15:11-32-the parable of the prodigal son. "Luke" wasn't just his name but a biblical reference. When the timer reaches zero and the phone rings, Avery answers with confidence. The kidnapper allows her a brief moment to hear Toby's voice before cutting him off. After she identifies the three characters in the parable, he tells her to "ruminate on that" and promises to be in touch.

第9章

The Mastermind Revealed

Zara reminds them of her father's wisdom: our minds trick us into seeing only two options when there are seven. This prompts Avery to question their assumptions-what if Tobias Hawthorne isn't the father in the parable, but one of the sons? Who, then, would be the father? After confirming Tobias had no siblings, Avery wonders if their kidnapper is seeking revenge against Tobias himself rather than Toby or her. They search through Tobias's "List" of people he'd wronged, revealing the ruthless truth behind his empire: hostile takeovers, bankrupting competitors, buying patents from vulnerable people for a fraction of their worth, and laying off loyal employees without mercy. Eventually, they discover US Patent number 3631982 from 1972, jointly held by Tobias Hawthorne and Vincent Blake. The patent is for an oil well drilling mechanism, but Tobias filed a second, improved patent shortly after-this one solely in his name and actually functional. This revelation suggests their kidnapper is Vincent Blake, seeking revenge for Tobias's betrayal decades ago. Nan reveals Blake was a powerful man who took Tobias under his wing. When Tobias filed the competing patent, Blake didn't sue because he respected that Tobias had "beaten him fair and square" at his own game. But men like Blake are always dangerous, and with Tobias gone, Avery is now the one "playing the piano"-and Blake will "break every one of those fingers" if she lets him.

第10章

The Final Confrontation

The situation reaches its breaking point when Eve vanishes, leaving behind only a hastily written note declaring her intention to confront Blake. When Grayson immediately moves to follow her, Jameson invokes an ancient Hawthorne family tradition called "On Spake" - a binding ritual that demands complete silence from the person it's cast upon. The weight of generations of family obligation forces Grayson to comply, though his eyes burn with frustrated desperation. Meanwhile, Avery makes a breakthrough in her investigation when she discovers that Vincent Blake has been living with a devastating belief: that his son Will lies buried somewhere on the sprawling Hawthorne estate. This revelation casts new light on the William Blake poem Toby had been obsessed with - particularly the lines about death and earth. When combined with Toby's mysterious invisible ink messages about "evidence" hidden in "the darkest hole," and his compulsive additions to Hawthorne House's architecture, Avery begins to piece together a horrifying possibility about what Tobias might have concealed during his numerous construction projects. The chapel becomes the focal point of revelation, where Avery discovers an intricate puzzle embedded in the marble altar. A biblical verse, carefully chosen and precisely inscribed, draws her attention to eighteen raised circles hidden beneath the altar's surface - invisible to the eye but distinct to touch. Her heart racing, she realizes it's a Braille message, deliberately designed to be discovered only by someone paying the closest attention. The solution triggers a mechanism revealing a hidden compartment within the altar itself. Instead of the grim discovery she feared, Avery finds a burial shroud and a message carved with unmistakable fury: "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, FATHER." The real prize lies deeper - in what appears to be Will Blake's intended resting place, she uncovers a USB drive, its presence suggesting layers of deception far more complex than a simple murder. The atmosphere in the chapel shifts dramatically when Eve appears in the doorway. Her transformation is instant and chilling - the mask of friendship dropping away as she levels a gun at Avery with unwavering determination. Even as Oren draws his own weapon, maintaining his protective stance, Eve's focus remains laser-fixed on Avery, as if no one else exists in the space. The tension reaches its peak when Grayson bursts in, and Eve's desperation becomes evident as she pleads for his assistance. His response is resolute and tactical - he reveals that without a second decoder drive, the USB's secrets would remain forever locked away, effectively neutralizing Eve's advantage.

第11章

The Truth Revealed

Xander connects both USB drives to his computer, extracting audio files that, when combined, reveal a message from Tobias Hawthorne himself. The old man explains that he made Avery his heir to draw Vincent Blake's attention away from his grandsons. He admits to painting a target on her back, believing Blake would come after whoever inherited his fortune. Tobias reveals he met Avery's mother twice and she threatened to expose Blake's secrets if he came near them. He calls Avery a "skeleton key" and explains he chose her as a decoy, believing she might have a slim chance of surviving Blake's attacks. After discovering Will Blake's remains, Alisa calls to reveal that Grayson traded himself to Blake to secure her release. Despite having what Blake wants, Avery realizes he still has the upper hand with Grayson as his hostage. Thinking of the Queen's Gambit chess opening, which requires ceding control of the board and appearing to make a rookie error, she formulates a plan and calls authorities about the human remains. At Vincent Blake's ranch, Avery challenges him to a chess match. When Blake proposes a three-way tournament instead-Toby versus Eve, Toby versus Avery, and Avery versus Eve-she accepts. The stakes are high: if Avery loses both matches, she'll owe Blake an unspecified favor; if she wins at least one game, Blake will release Grayson and guarantee protection for those under her care. After Toby deliberately lets Eve win their match, Avery faces him next. Despite his initial advantage, she eventually traps him and declares "Checkmate." In the final match against Eve, Avery makes a calculated decision to lose deliberately, setting up her ultimate confrontation with Blake himself. She wagers the entire Hawthorne fortune against Blake burying the Sheffield Grayson secret and extending his armistice with Tobias Hawthorne to her. Playing white, Avery executes the Queen's Gambit, eventually capturing Blake's queen and systematically trapping him. She's hustled him-deliberately playing below her ability against Eve to set up this moment. Blake honors their wager but banishes her from his property.

第12章

The Legacy Continues

One year later, Avery is being interviewed as a nineteen-year-old heiress, philanthropist, and world-changer. She explains how giving away the fortune became a game to the Hawthorne brothers after their initial shock. Her Hannah the Same Backward as Forward Foundation has a five-year deadline to distribute all funds, with a diverse board reviewing proposals from anyone with good ideas. Despite giving away 94% of her inheritance, she's kept two billion dollars-enough that she could spend $100 million yearly and still have more when she dies. The Hawthorne brothers have all found their paths: Grayson helping distribute the money, Xander working as a mechanic, Nash tending bar (and rumored to be engaged to Avery's sister), and Jameson continuing his thrill-seeking ways. Avery's future plans include travel, studying actuarial science, and hosting an annual contest called "The Grandest Game" with substantial prize money-a tribute to Tobias Hawthorne's Saturday morning puzzles that showed them they were already extraordinary. She ends the interview by dramatically revealing a golden card, announcing "The game starts right now." In this final installment of the Inheritance Games trilogy, Jennifer Lynn Barnes masterfully weaves together puzzles, family secrets, and high-stakes confrontations to create a satisfying conclusion to Avery's journey from ordinary teenager to extraordinary heiress. The true inheritance, it seems, was never just about the money-it was about finding family, purpose, and the courage to play the game on her own terms.
