Past tragedies haunt the present from "summary" of The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
In the grand estate of Hawthorne House, the past is a living presence, creeping into every corner and shadow. The tragic events that unfolded within these walls continue to echo through time, leaving a trail of secrets and mysteries for the present inhabitants to unravel. The weight of the past hangs heavy over the heads of the Hawthorne heirs, shaping their every decision and action. The sudden death of Tobias Hawthorne, a man shrouded in enigma and wealth, sets off a chain of events that thrusts Avery Grambs, a seemingly ordinary girl, into a world of luxury and intrigue. As she navigates the treacherous waters of high society and family politics, Avery soon realizes that the past is not content to stay buried. It seeps through the cracks, whispering of old grudges and long-forgotten betrayals. The Hawthorne family itself is a testament to the power of past tragedies. Siblings torn apart by greed and ambition, cousins locked in a bitter rivalry, all haunted by the specter of a father who ruled with an iron fist. Each member of the family carries the burden of their own personal demons, unable to escape the shadow of their shared history. As Avery delves deeper into the secrets of Hawthorne House, she uncovers layers of deception and manipulation that stretch back generations. The past is not a distant memory but a living force, shaping the present in ways she could never have imagined. And as she struggles to untangle the web of lies that surround her, Avery realizes that the only way to truly understand the present is to confront the ghosts of the past.
