Due to be released from Entangled Publishing on November 11, 2014, The Book of Ivy is a YA tale set in what sounds like a dystopic future.
Check out the blurb:
After
a brutal nuclear war, the United States was left decimated. A small group of
survivors eventually banded together, but only after more conflict over which
family would govern the new nation. The Westfalls lost. Fifty years later,
peace and control are maintained by marrying the daughters of the losing side
to the sons of the winning group in a yearly ritual.
This
year, it is my turn.
My
name is Ivy Westfall, and my mission is simple: to kill the president’s son—my
soon-to-be husband—and return the Westfall family to power.
But
Bishop Lattimer is either a very skilled actor or he’s not the cruel, heartless
boy my family warned me to expect. He might even be the one person in this
world who truly understands me. But there is no escape from my fate. I am the
only one who can restore the Westfall legacy.
Because
Bishop must die. And I must be the one to kill him…
