A succession mystery inside the royal court

Ruby’s skill at solving puzzles becomes entangled with the question of who should rule: the dying king names her, a servant, as his heir, then leaves a note alleging that he was murdered. The court setting brings succession conflict together with a murder investigation, while Ruby’s uneasy alliances with the king’s three princes complicate the search for someone she can trust. The central tension is both political and personal: uncovering the truth may be necessary for Ruby to understand her sudden place in the kingdom—and to protect herself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult mysteries and detective stories.
  • Readers who enjoy royal succession conflicts paired with a murder investigation.
  • Readers looking for court intrigue, puzzles, and a romance element.

Book overview

The Inheritance Games gets the royal treatment in this paperback original thriller that combines courtly intrigue, succession drama, and romance.

Ruby has never found a puzzle she couldn't solve. Even though she's destined to spend the rest of her life as a servant to the royal family, her mind itches for a true challenge. But no puzzle could prepare her for the king's decision to name Ruby as the next heir to the throne just before his death.

Thrown into the viper's nest of court, Ruby is forced to contend with a kingdom in crisis, the dead king's angry wife, and the three entitled and annoyingly handsome princes. Then, as if being newly crowned queen wasn't enough, she discovers a note left by the king that claims he was murdered . . . and that she might be next.

Unsure of who she can trust, Ruby makes uneasy alliances with each of the princes as she tries to solve the king's murder. But with the clock winding down, she will face her most difficult challenge yet: finding the truth before the killer comes for her.
