But as she gets to know him, Ivy questions everything she's been taught. Is Bishop truly the enemy, or the only one who understands her? With her family's future at stake, Ivy must decide between duty and her heart. Can she fulfill her mission, or will love alter her fate?

From the publisher

Discover the New York Times bestseller that SLJ called “A fantastic plot that makes readers think about the blurred lines between right and wrong.”What would you kill for? 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… Each book in The Book of Ivy series should be READ IN ORDER: Book 1: The Book of IvyBook 2: The Revolution of Ivy
