A brand-new cozy gothic series that’s The Inheritance Games for middle grade readers—filled with family curses, talking cats, and clever clues!

“Mix Mr. Lemoncello with Wednesday Addams, and you’ll end up with the dark fun of The Grimlore Game!”—Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series

SOLVE THE PUZZLES. SURVIVE THE GAME.

Orphan Kit Devlin knows two things for sure about her scheming relatives:

1. They’re cursed, with someone doomed to croak every three years like clockwork.
2. They only care about one thing: themselves.

When wealthy Grandpa Amos dies, all the Devlins come running to his manor for their piece of the inheritance—only to find a mysterious magical game instead. Whoever solves the riddles will win his fortune. But everything is not what it seems, like the misfit cousin with secrets to hide and the crimson-eyed cat who only talks to Kit. As the clues stack up, Kit learns there’s more to the family curse—and her connection to it—than she ever suspected. If she wants answers, she has to survive the game... and win.

Kalyn Josephson is a New York Times bestselling author, sometimes-baker, and full-time consumer of too much tea. She lives on the California coast with two tiny black cats in a house in constant need of repair. She is the author of several fantasy series for kids, teens, and adults, as well as the owner of The Cove Books.
