Glorious Rivals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Glorious Rivals (2025) is the high-stakes, fast-paced sequel to The Grandest Game, written by #1 bestselling YA mystery author Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It serves as the second book in The Grandest Game spin-off series, expanding the massive, riddle-filled universe of The Inheritance Games.

Picking up exactly where the cliffhanger of The Grandest Game left off, Glorious Rivals pushes the competition on Hawthorne Island to a fever pitch. Seven carefully selected players—each harboring deep personal secrets, hidden agendas, and dark motivations—initially arrived on the island to compete for a life-changing fortune.

Now, the remaining contestants find themselves trapped in a much more dangerous version of the competition. As billionaire heiress Avery Grambs-Hawthorne and the infamous Hawthorne brothers pull the strings behind the scenes, the puzzles turn deadly. It isn't just millions of dollars on the line anymore—the players are forced into intense, cutthroat rivalries where romantic tensions boil over, alliances shatter, and actual survival becomes the ultimate prize.

• Enemies-to-Lovers Dynamics: Fierce rivals are forced to team up, sparking highly anticipated, tense romantic chemistry.
