So this is the cover for the Games Untold book by Jennifer Lynn Barnes which is getting released on Novermber 12, 2024. In the cover, you can notice several things-

A pearl necklace ( Nan? Alice ? Who may it indicate lemme know)

A key to a lock ( A lock is visible on the grandest game cover )

A longsword ( Grayson probably )

A dagger with a rose shaped jewel on it ? Idk what is it.

A cowboy boot ( NASH HAWTHORNEE)

A compass ( True north, skye and zara ? )

Lots of Roses

Lots of Calla Lilies on the sides ( Lyra kane ? )

The description of Games Untold

Why did Fire light up on two of the roses at the corner ? (@carmenpowerpuffgirl mentioned )

EDIT- NO 4 IS ACTUALLY A RING. ( Libby and nash maybe )

AND A GOLD COIN on the lower right corner side.

Share your opinion on what do the above things indicate cz I'm lazy and have no idea what they mean.

It was mentioned multiple times how Jameson was somewhat similar to Toby, they both loved playing games growing up but also tended to self-destruct and act recklessly.

But then we also have Avery who is described to be just like her mother. Someone who is mysterious and secretive.

There are so many parallels between the two couples such as wanting to travel the world and solve puzzles together. Unfortunately, toby and Hannah's love story was doomed in the end.

So Jameson and Avery were what Toby and Hannah couldn't be.

I should change my name to Tobyandhannahsbiggestshipper because that’s more accurate 💀

Perspective Shift: Tobias Hawthorne couldn't get at Hannah while she was alive so this man had the audacity to get back at her by going for her daughter. He really went and made Avery, a seventeen-year-old girl who just recently lost her mother and living her own rough life, a punching bag to protect his grandsons (supposedly).

Never forgiving Jennifer Lynn Barnes for not making tobyhannah endgame and/or making Toby Avery's father

[f4iry-bell]

averyjameson this averygrayson that libbynash this xandermax that. what about HANNAH AND TOBY???? I'd DIE to read a short novella about them the letters aren't enough for me

[catapparently]

Help I wanna write but I don't wanna write but I want to write but I can't

[x-liv25-jamieswife]

if you can, do you mind doing some toby and avery hcs??

toby and avery head canons

of course, i'd love to!! i'm literally so obsessed with them, and their story literally makes me sob. hope you like them <3. @catapparently helped.

i honestly may have read a fic about this on ao3, but toby got avery a music box that played her mom singing this lullaby when someone opened it. she cried for hours in his arms.

avery blames herself for what happened to toby and the blakes, and sometimes calls him to apologize profusely (even though he's already forgiven her). he assures her he still loves her and that she means the world to him.

they don't call or see each other often except for at galas and events that the blakes drag him to. they always sneak away (with the help of the hawthornes) so they have time to talk.

hannah would sometimes tell toby that they were going to be at like a bowling alley that day or smth, and he'd do his best to show up and watch her play and have fun. he would tear up at the life he wanted but could never have.

he walked her down the aisle on her wedding day. she originally didn't want anyone to do it because she doesn't like the idea of your parent 'giving you away to someone', but when she realized who toby was and what he meant to her, that changed.

they visit hannah's grave together and just cry in each others arms. they'll tell each other what they miss most from the life they had before with her.

toby tells her about all the wild things hannah would say to him and how much she hated him at first. avery loves hearing him talk about her mother because he always sounds so in love.

toby will mail her little puzzles that he carved for her to solve. she always sends him picks of it when she's done.

avery regularly goes back to the spot where they used to eat after their chess games/where they used to play chess to feel closer to him.

toby calls her horrible girl and princess, and, when she has kids, he starts calling them horrible boy and princeps (princess in latin according to google translate) (i hc that aj have a daughter and a son)

toby gave avery the talk not because she needed it but bc he saw it as a classic father/daughter experience that he wanted to have with her.

toby wishes he was less of a coward when he was younger and actually took part in avery' life. he regrets not seeing her grow, take her first steps, her first day of school etc..

avery knows this and will sometimes send him videos her mom took of her when she was younger (we know she used to send him postcards sometimes but its not the same)

for his birthday, avery will head over to the blake's house (or wherever he's currently living), threaten the people who answer the door to let her in, and will spend a few minutes with him before she's forced to leave.

she sometimes gifts him things that used to belong to her mother

toby tried to teach her how to carve wood, but she could never get the hang of it. she tries her best and gifts him her attempts even if they suck. toby finds it very sweet and adorable.

avery has a really nice voice but doesn't like to sing bc it reminds her of her mom on her death bed (she used to ask avery to sing her her favorite songs before she died). toby loves her voice though so sometimes she'll suck it up and record a voice message of her singing.

they will send each other songs that remind them of the other.

toby has the best relationship advice (even though he's never really been in a relationship except for with hannah). when she's having trouble with jamie (very rare), she'll go to him IF possible (i literally say this in every post for like avery and grayson or nash, but i think it fits toby and avery best)

toby has an insta account avery doesn't know about that he uses to like and comment on each and every one of her posts.

toby watches all of the broadcasted events she attends, all of her interviews, etc. he's her biggest fan.

he knows she loves sushi so sometimes he'll order her some and get it delivered to her house on days where she's told him she's swamped with work.

avery's kids call him grandpa even though he's not actually their grandpa.

they love sending each other cryptic messages for the other to figure out.

they usually call each other late at night bc that's when the blakes are less likely to catch him. jamie will leave the room when this happens and let them talk.

after vincent blake died, he was more free to do whatever he wanted so he started visiting her more often. not all the time though because eve was still a pain in the ass.

avery has a bad habit of going to bed way to late and waking up way to early so toby will text to make sure she's getting sleep ('are you heading to bed, princess' or 'i hope you aren't still awake, horrible girl')

toby actually swears a lot and avery finds it hilarious. he starts to swear even more bc it makes her laugh.

toby loves sightseeing and will always be taking pictures of his favorite places (he travels a lot bc of the blakes). he sends her all of these pictures

toby tries to be cool and texts like gen z, and avery finds it absolutely traumatizing. she begs him to stop but it just eggs him on.

when avery wakes up from nightmares and has a panic attack, but doesn't want to wake up jamie, she'll call toby. he'll tell her to breathe with him and then will ask her if she's ok in a soft voice. then they'll hang up. she never talks about her nightmares and he never asks. this is literally what happens every time

toby is always sending her memes and dad jokes. she finds them embarrassing but cute at the same time.

[mrswarnerxo]

wait so i might be a little rusty on the hawthorne family tree but heres what i know. tobias like loved averys mom right? and he signed her birth certificate as her dads signature but it was still his handwriting. and tobias was averys mom’s boyfriend. SO IF HER MOM AND TOBIAS GOT TOGETHER, THEN JAMESON AND AVERY WOULDVE BEEN COUSINS. RIGHT??😭😭🙏

[lilyhawthornes-blog]

I just finished re-reading The Hawthorne Legacy and not me close to tears because of Hannah and Toby.

The Same Backward as Forward is going to destroy me 😅

[luminewhosthat]

Can I just honestly rant about some things? Girl I really cannot get toby and Hannah's story outta my head. And like, the weirdest thing is, how is Avery still coping with this? I need the amount of mental strength she has. Toby and Hannah's story is going to be epic I just know it. I cannot wait to read games untold but at the same time I'm not ready for it. Toby was literally responsible for Kaylie's death, so I have no idea how the hell Hannah fell in love with him. Seems like Jackson was right when he said she was the damnest Rooney. So, Hannah hated him at first then started to like him? Truly strangers to enemies to lovers with hurt/comfort. Jennifer, I hope you're not going to destroy our mental health with whatever devastating story you're writing about them, I do not think I can handle the scene where toby leaves Hannah. JUST WHY COULDN'T THEY BE TOGETHER?!! Toby was such a coward for this, but hey, can't blame him. I hope we have both Hannah and toby's Pov. But toby's one sounds very interesting. What if the scene of Hannah birthing Avery is also there and it is from Hannah's Pov? Okay, goodbye. I cannot think straight anymore. It's already too much for me to bear.

I hope there is also snippet of Alice and Tobias's story, what made her runaway like this, is still a mystery and I hope it's going to be solved in Games Untold.

[untamedwind01]

I could read a whole book about Toby and Hannah honestly. Also if there’s actually a book like that, we could get a glimpse of The Hawthorne Family before the fire that started it all. We could also know more about Hannah.

also little Nash 🥹🥹

[shihomiyanosbiggestfan]

TOBY AND HANNAH💗💗💗

“An amnesiac playboy and the woman with every reason to hate him” honestly, at first I didn’t know who it could be BUT then I realized ITS TOBY AND HANNAH AGDJSKSHSH. Like I love them, I think we needed more of them , BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST UGH AND THEIR STORY?!?!? And one of the story things is labeled “ the same backward as forward “ AND I THINK ITS ABOUT THEM, because you know “ Hannah the same backwards as forwards”. Tbh I just can’t wait it ( presumably ) November when it’s said to come out. Not only for Toby and Hannah ( mostly them but yeah ) but also the other stories of the other characters, AND most importantly WHAT HAPPENED IN PRAUGE.

[riddles-n-games]

You know what's so funny? I recently got The Hawthorne Legacy from the library to reread it and now with the announcement of Games Untold, everybody's asking who the amnesiac playboy and the woman who should hate him is. I think this is your sign for all of you to grab The Hawthorne Legacy for a refresh of Toby and Hannah's backstory (and you know, also that hot tub scene in Ch. 47 while you're at it 👀-oop-I mean-). You're welcome.

[alphasrainbow]

I won't lie, Jennifer Lynn Barnes let me down a bunch of times in the inheritance games series

But there is one thing I was rooting for, only one thing, and I will never forgive her for taking that route

Toby should have been Avery's real father. I NEVER was so disappointed reading a book as I was reading this. It would have saved the whole book for me

[ilyiwdtpyiwmyhmtkys]

Tony hannah hcs?

okay so i would love to do this but my personal knowledge of their relationship is so minimal that i feel like they would be so bad, maybe if someone gave me the rundown of all the info we have of them i would be able to do this
